Patient's question:
After establishing the pregnancy record, I noticed that the record indicates a 4D ultrasound should be done between 18-22 weeks. I want to know some suggestions for the 4D ultrasound: should I be fasting or can I have dinner? Is blood test required? Are there any specific requirements before the 4D ultrasound? Since the information on the card is not very clear, I want to know at which week of pregnancy is it appropriate to do the 4D ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
It is appropriate to have a 4D ultrasound between weeks 22 and 24 of pregnancy. At this stage, the baby's organs have developed and matured, and the amount of amniotic fluid is suitable for a magnetic resonance examination. This is the best time for fetal anomaly screening. For a 4D ultrasound, you do not need to fast; normal eating is sufficient. However, appointments for a 4D ultrasound should be booked in advance. During pregnancy, it is essential to have regular prenatal check-ups at the obstetrics department and consume foods rich in protein.Patients undergoing a 4D ultrasound can understand professional treatment while using folk remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. It is crucial to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily dietary habits and never overeat or binge on food.
