Patient's question:
My wife is 30 years old, and we are only pregnant with our first child. Neither of us is very knowledgeable about pregnancy. We only know that pregnant women need to undergo prenatal examinations every month. What is the best time for these prenatal examinations, morning or afternoon? What specific tests are thoroughly checked during prenatal examinations?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to help you. The best time for prenatal check-ups is right after getting pregnant. You can do a urine test, hCG test, and abdominal ultrasound for a thorough examination. At 12 weeks of pregnancy, you can have an NT test. Between 14 and 18 weeks of pregnancy, you can have a Down syndrome screening. Between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy, you can have a 4D ultrasound examination. It's important to follow the doctor's advice for regular prenatal check-ups, get plenty of rest, and avoid overexertion and strenuous exercise.
