Patient's question:
When do you have your first prenatal check-up after being pregnant for a few weeks? Do you need one every two weeks? I would appreciate it if you could tell me, thank you.Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy can be confirmed starting from the 13th week with the first normal prenatal examination. If the menstrual cycle is regular and there has been normal sexual activity, if the period does not arrive, after a thorough check, it is first necessary to confirm that it is an intrauterine pregnancy. After confirmation and if there are no abnormalities, regular prenatal examinations can begin from the 13th week of pregnancy. Before 28 weeks, there should be one check-up per month, from 28 to 36 weeks, there should be one check-up every two weeks, and from 36 weeks of pregnancy onwards, there should be one check-up per week.
