Patient's question:
My wife is pregnant, and as new parents, we know nothing. How often should we do prenatal check-ups after getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy should be checked at least five times. Before week 13 of pregnancy. Go to the hospital for a color ultrasound to confirm the intrauterine living fetus, check the color ultrasound NT, and establish a medical record. Between four and five months, undergo a Down syndrome screening. Between five and six months of pregnancy, check for glucose tolerance to rule out gestational diabetes. Between seven and eight months, have a thorough check-up. At nine months of pregnancy, undergo fetal heart monitoring and color ultrasound. Pay attention to irregular prenatal check-ups during pregnancy.
