Patient's question:
Confirmed about being pregnant with my first child yesterday, I'm very nervous. How many prenatal check-ups are required after getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
If your menstrual cycle is regular, it's a good idea to go to the hospital for a confirmation test. In the early stages of pregnancy, an ultrasound is needed to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy and check the development of the fetal heartbeat and embryonic growth. At three months of pregnancy, the first systematic health check should be conducted, including weight measurement, blood tests, and a detailed ultrasound examination of urine and other aspects. Around four months, the child's bones have already grown, and a comprehensive anomaly scan is necessary. At eight months, fetal anomalies should be ruled out. Before delivery, the condition of the fetus should be closely monitored.
