How long should a prenatal check-up be performed after the 28th week of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I have been pregnant for twenty-seven weeks now. Next week, I plan to have a thorough examination. After the examination at twenty-eight weeks, how long will it take before I need another prenatal check-up? For a while, I didn't do too many thorough examinations, thinking to focus on them more in the later stages of pregnancy.

Doctor's answer:

Around the 30th week of pregnancy, I started doing fetal heart monitoring. In the second and third trimesters, it is possible to check fetal movement and heart rate to understand the baby's growth and development inside the womb, and to see if there are any choking incidents. During pregnancy, it is also necessary to check if you have symptoms of gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, or anemia. If you have any physical discomfort during pregnancy, you should go to the hospital in time for examination and treatment. Wish the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
