Patient's question:
I recently just found out through a careful check that I am pregnant, but I haven't taken the marriage certificate yet. Is a marriage certificate required for prenatal examinations?Doctor's answer:
Prenatal examinations do not require a marriage certificate; you can go with your ID card. If the days of your pregnancy are still early, you should first go to the hospital to have blood drawn for hCG and progesterone tests, as well as a detailed gynecological ultrasound to understand the growth and development of the embryo. If low progesterone is detected, it is important to take progesterone promptly. Around the tenth week of pregnancy, if no significant abnormalities are found, you will need to establish a maternal health card. When establishing the card, bring the ID cards of both partners, and you do not need a marriage certificate.
