What are the items in prenatal tests and how often are they checked?

Patient's question:

First pregnancy, knowing nothing, want to know how long to do a check-up during pregnancy? What are the items in the prenatal examination?

Doctor's answer:

If there is nothing special, it is usually done at three months of pregnancy for the first prenatal check-up. The detailed examination includes measuring the pregnant woman's blood pressure and weight, as well as measuring the pregnant woman's abdominal circumference and fundal height. Then, a thorough check-up is performed once a month, and in the later stages of pregnancy, a check-up is needed every half month. During the first three months of pregnancy, it is necessary to take folic acid tablets, as folic acid tablets can prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. Rest more and do not overexert yourself.
