Patient's question:
Doctor, my family is from the countryside. I am currently 6 months pregnant and have never had prenatal care because we are poor. I didn't dare to go to the hospital for prenatal care. My friend said that if you don't have prenatal care, the hospital won't let you give birth. Do you think the hospital will still let me give birth without prenatal care?Doctor's answer:
After getting pregnant, it is generally necessary to have irregular prenatal check-ups. The main purpose is to detect whether there are any abnormalities in the fetus's growth and development. If prenatal check-ups are not done, it will not be possible to assess the fetus's growth and development. In such cases, it is usually possible to be admitted to the hospital for delivery because the hospital's primary responsibility is to save lives and treat the injured. If prenatal check-ups are not scheduled on time, as long as there are signs of labor again, going to the hospital for admission, doctors will not stand by idly. It is recommended to have irregular prenatal check-ups.
