How often is a prenatal checkup usually done?

Patient's question:

Tomorrow is my first prenatal check-up. It's said that prenatal check-ups can be quite tiring. How often are prenatal check-ups usually scheduled? Which aspects are particularly tiring?

Doctor's answer:

The estimated time of conception starts from the first day of the last menstrual period. You can have the first thorough check-up around the 50th day of pregnancy. If the check-up is normal, you need to create a maternal and child health record before the third month of pregnancy. There are many items to be done when creating the maternal and child health record, including blood and urine tests, liver and kidney function tests, thyroid function tests, screening for related infectious diseases, and so on. The interval time for check-ups varies at different stages of pregnancy. The main inconvenience of obstetric check-ups lies in queuing or waiting; otherwise, there is nothing much.
