Patient's question:
My wife is 16 weeks pregnant and I want to accompany her for an antenatal check-up tomorrow. Doctor, what kind of antenatal check-up is done at 16 weeks?Doctor's answer:
If you have prenatal check-ups at 16 weeks, it should only involve a detailed examination of urinalysis and blood tests. There shouldn't be much else. Around 20 weeks, you can have a 4D ultrasound. At 16 weeks, you should be in a stable phase, so it's important to exercise moderately, eat more nutritious foods, consume plenty of vegetables and fruits, drink more water, and supplement with vitamins. Avoid staying up late, get into a regular routine, and have restrained sexual activity.
