Patient's question:
What are the timing and items of prenatal check-ups during pregnancy? What are the items included in prenatal check-ups? How long do you need to wait to have a 4D ultrasound? How much does it cost to do all the items during pregnancy? Are these frequent check-ups good for the baby?Doctor's answer:
After confirming pregnancy, it is necessary to visit the hospital for timely prenatal examinations to monitor the growth and development of the gestational sac within the uterus and rule out ectopic pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, which is the first trimester, examinations should be conducted once every four weeks. During the second trimester, examinations should be performed every two weeks. In the later stages of pregnancy, examinations should be done once a week. The examination items include ultrasound, blood tests, fundal height measurement, abdominal circumference measurement, and fetal heart monitoring. Routine examinations will not have any impact on the fetus.
