Patient's question:
I took a self-test and found out I'm one month pregnant. How long after getting pregnant should I have prenatal check-ups? And do I need to make an appointment specifically for this?Doctor's answer:
Different hospitals have different regulations. Generally, it's best to book an appointment online for major city and provincial-level hospitals. Since you've just been pregnant for one month and there are no symptoms of abdominal pain or bleeding, it won't be a major issue. You can first go to the hospital to have blood tests to check your progesterone and hCG levels. If the results are good, there's no problem. You can have an ultrasound at around the 7th or 8th week to carefully observe the development. As long as the fetal heartbeat, gestational sac, and fetal bud are growing well, you can rest assured. In the future, follow the doctor's guidance and have regular check-ups.
