Patient's question:
I just got married to my husband for 1 year, and now I've found out I'm pregnant. Since it's my first pregnancy, I don't know anything about it. I want to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. During my first prenatal visit, the doctor recommended that I get a prenatal record book. Why do I need a prenatal record book? Can't we just have the check-up directly? What kind of documents do I need to fill out the prenatal record book?Doctor's answer:
The creation of the prenatal examination card, which is the creation of the pregnancy care manual, needs to be completed smoothly during the first prenatal examination. The time for the first prenatal examination should be between 6 weeks and 13 weeks of pregnancy. The pregnant woman needs to bring her own ID card and social security card to the community health center where she temporarily resides or the hospital she has booked for the prenatal examination, so that she can undergo a thorough examination with the obstetrician. The first examination needs to help the pregnant woman confirm the gestational age, estimate the expected date of delivery, test for high-risk factors during pregnancy, measure blood pressure, weight, and body mass index, and perform gynecological examinations.
