Patient's question:
I am currently 28 weeks pregnant, but the doctor has never given me a list of check-ups. I also don't know when I should go to the hospital or what specific tests to undergo.Hello, what kind of check-ups are done at 28 weeks? Are there any tests that are mandatory during pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women need to have prenatal check-ups after becoming pregnant, and the content of these check-ups varies depending on the different stages of the fetus's development. At 28 weeks of pregnancy, which is considered the late stage of pregnancy, the fifth prenatal check-up includes general basic conditions such as blood and urine tests, blood pressure, weight, fundal height, and abdominal circumference. Additionally, a 4D ultrasound is performed between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. If the 4D ultrasound has not yet been done, it is necessary to have it done at this time. If the 4D ultrasound has already been completed, a regular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be done.
