Patient's question:
I used a pregnancy test and found out I'm pregnant. It's been two weeks since the test, but I haven't gone to the hospital for a thorough check-up or had an ultrasound. I want to ask when should I have a prenatal check-up after becoming pregnant, and how often should I have follow-up check-ups? I have no experience, so I'm seeking guidance.Doctor's answer:
If you have already carefully checked and found that you are two weeks pregnant, you can go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. Discovering pregnancy two weeks ago should mean you are over 40 days pregnant, and at this time, an ultrasound examination can be performed. The estimated pregnancy duration starts from the first day of your last menstrual period. Alternatively, you can go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination around the seventh week, when you may detect fetal heartbeat and fetal buds.
