Patient's question:
Two weeks ago, I bought a pregnancy test myself and found out I was pregnant. Then, both my husband and I were still young, and our parents were not around. It was my first time being pregnant, and I didn't know anything about it. I also didn't know what the procedures for prenatal check-ups were, how often I needed to do them, and what the detailed check-up items were?Doctor's answer:
The current situation requires understanding many aspects of the pre-pregnancy test. If you are not familiar with the detailed check-up items during pregnancy, I can provide you with detailed information. First, the first check-up is an ultrasound examination during the early stages of pregnancy. At 11 weeks and 13 weeks, an NT scan is performed. At 15 weeks and 20 weeks, a Down syndrome screening is conducted. Approximately at 20 weeks, a four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound can be performed to detect major deformities.
