Patient's question:
I am 5 months pregnant now. I have never had prenatal care. I have already stopped working and am staying at home. There is no income, and my husband's salary is also not high. I am worried about the money and haven't had prenatal care. I plan to have a 4D ultrasound and want to know when is the best time to do it?Doctor's answer:
Generally, women should try their best to undergo regular prenatal check-ups on schedule during pregnancy to ensure the healthy growth and development of the fetus. If you want to perform a detailed 4D anomaly scan, it should be carried out between 24 weeks and 28 weeks of pregnancy. This is because by the time you reach 24 weeks or later, the baby's organ development is usually well completed. At this stage, an ultrasound can be used to check whether there are any abnormalities in the fetal growth and development.
