Patient's question:
Within, it needs to be carefully checked, after which it cannot be carefully checked again?? Except for doing a color ultrasound, it takes several months to check?? My wife's last menstrual period was on April 7th. Today, I wanted to do a color ultrasound, but I was scheduled for September 7th. Why do I have to wait so long?? How many months can it be determined whether it's a boy or a girl?? What kind of help do you care for: Please answer, thank you!!Doctor's answer:
Hello, the first detailed ultrasound examination is generally recommended around the 60th day of pregnancy. This examination is primarily to monitor the fetal heartbeat and fetal bud. Many (abnormalities in children) are accompanied by abnormal growth and development of the fetal heartbeat and fetal bud in the early stages of pregnancy, making it the first prenatal anomaly screening.Advice: The next detailed ultrasound examination can be scheduled around the 4th month of pregnancy. This is mainly to check the growth and development of the child's limbs, facial features, and bones. At this time, the gender can also be checked. The optimal time for the Nuchal Translucency (NT) screening is between the 16th and 20th weeks of pregnancy, which is primarily to check the child's intelligence and rule out Down syndrome.
In medicine, the estimated gestational age is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. Currently, your partner is about 4 and a half months pregnant. Wishing you good health.
