Patient's question:
I am now 27 weeks pregnant and plan to have a thorough check-up next week. After the 28-week check-up, how long do I need to wait before having another prenatal examination? For a while, I didn't do too many thorough check-ups, 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 for fetal movements and heartbeats to understand the baby's growth and development inside the womb, as well as any risk of choking on water. During pregnancy, it is also important to check for symptoms of gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, or anemia. If you experience any discomfort during pregnancy, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment promptly. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
