Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm 38 weeks pregnant and need to go for prenatal care. I want to know in advance what kind of prenatal care I should have at 38 weeks?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, a prenatal check-up at 38 weeks typically involves measuring blood pressure, checking fundal height and abdominal circumference, listening to fetal heart tones, and performing a fetal assessment. If necessary, a detailed examination of the urine routine and a thorough ultrasound can be conducted to understand the baby's growth and development. Pregnancy can change at any time, so from 36 weeks onwards, it is recommended to have a prenatal check-up once a week to monitor the baby's condition. Wishing you good health.
