Patient's question:
Today morning, inexplicably, I had nausea pregnancy symptoms again. I also went to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test. It was two lines, so I knew I was pregnant. I don't know when it's best to do prenatal care. What week of pregnancy is appropriate for prenatal care?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to undergo a thorough MRI examination at the hospital around the 9th week of pregnancy. This can help observe the growth and development of the fetus, as well as how the gestational sac, fetal heartbeat, and embryonic bud match the gestational age. It can also determine whether it is a single or multiple pregnancy. Before the 12th week, create a maternal and child health manual, improve basic tests and examinations, take low-dose folic acid orally before the third month of pregnancy to prevent fetal malformations, maintain a proper diet, balanced nutrition, eat small meals frequently, and have a light diet.
