Patient's question:
I am 3 months pregnant, have a dog at home, but don't interact with it, and family members take care of it. Will I get infected with bacteria?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to check regularly. A total of 9 prenatal check-ups should be conducted at the 20th, 24th, 28th, 32nd, 38th, 39th, and 40th weeks of pregnancy. If there are any abnormal conditions, the number of follow-up check-ups should be increased accordingly. Prenatal check-ups are generally performed once a month within the first six months, every 15 days in the seventh and eighth months, and once a week after the ninth month, until the baby is born. Special circumstances may require check-ups at any time. Additionally, note that between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy, diabetes screening and comprehensive blood tests should be conducted, including blood tests, liver function tests, kidney function tests, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, HIV, coagulation function, etc. At the 38th week, urine tests, electrocardiograms, blood tests, and pelvic measurements should also be performed. Amniotic fluid tests are generally not included.
