Patient's question:
Before, I have had a total of three prenatal check-ups. But I heard from others that after 30 weeks of pregnancy, the frequency of prenatal check-ups needs to increase. I am almost at 30 weeks pregnant, but I don't know how often I should have a check-up. I'm afraid that doing too many check-ups might be harmful to the baby. How often should I have a prenatal check-up after 30 weeks?Doctor's answer:
After 30 weeks of pregnancy, it is generally recommended to have a thorough check-up every two weeks. After 36 weeks, it is advised to have a check-up once a week. Regularly monitor the baby's head position, as the (: position of the fetus) usually does not stabilize until after 38 weeks. Continuously monitor the baby's condition and the amount of amniotic fluid. Pay attention to preventing excessive fatigue, as the fetus grows particularly rapidly in the late stages of pregnancy, which can cause discomfort and movement difficulties for the pregnant woman. Rest more.
