Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 25 years old this year, and I am already 3 months pregnant. I am told that after getting pregnant, I need to undergo a series of detailed examinations. I would like to know what specific tests should be done? Besides the Down syndrome screening, when should it be done? Besides, what problems should I pay attention to now? As a first-time pregnancy, I have little experience and many areas where I don't understand.Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, it is necessary to have relevant and careful examinations based on the time of pregnancy. For example, at 16 weeks and 18 weeks, you can have a Down syndrome screening, and at 22 weeks and 24 weeks, you can have a structural anomaly examination. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can do various examinations periodically. During pregnancy, you should also maintain a good mood, engage in appropriate activities, have a proper diet, and appropriately enhance nutrition, enjoying the physiological needs of your body.
