What happens if you don't have prenatal check-ups during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I've been pregnant for two months. Due to poor family conditions and the hospital being very far away, I haven't had any prenatal check-ups. But I can't help feeling anxious and worried every day, not knowing how the baby is doing or what the situation is like. So, I'd like to ask, what happens if you don't have prenatal check-ups during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

If you are currently only two months pregnant and have not regularly undergone prenatal check-ups before, as long as you do so on time in the later stages, there should be no problem. The main purpose of prenatal check-ups is to carefully observe the normal growth and development of the fetus. In the first two months of pregnancy, it is generally to check the fetal heartbeat and sprout. Since you are not experiencing symptoms of miscarriage again now, this should also be fine. Therefore, after 12 weeks, you need to have NT screening, Down syndrome screening, and 4D anomaly scanning done on time.
