When is the best time to do a prenatal test?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing symptoms of early pregnancy for two months, as mentioned online. When is the best time to do an early pregnancy test?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, two red lines on a pregnancy test can confirm pregnancy. If there are no discomforts, you can wait until around 48 days after your period to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check for fetal heartbeat and fetal growth. If you plan to continue the pregnancy, you can take folic acid tablets to prevent cardiovascular malformations in the fetus. Continue taking them until the end of the third trimester without stopping. It is recommended not to engage in strenuous exercise during the early stages of pregnancy and to regularly check the development of the fetus to ensure it is normal.
