Patient's question:
I have been amenorrheic for 40 days. Today's ultrasound report is shown as follows. What does "early pregnancy corpus luteum" mean? Is the baby abnormal? The following weeks 22-26 need careful examination, is it abnormal? Very worriedDoctor's answer:
The ultrasound examination shows that the fetal growth and development are normal. The corpus luteum in early pregnancy is a normal phenomenon during pregnancy, and this will not interfere with your fetal health at all. It is recommended that you undergo an NT examination when you are 11 to 13 weeks pregnant and a 4D color Doppler major malformation examination when you are 22 to 26 weeks pregnant. You should also continue taking folic acid in the early stages of pregnancy. Rest more during the day, attend prenatal examinations on time, and seek medical attention promptly if you feel any discomfort.
