When to start prenatal examinations?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my wife is 23 years old. She was carefully examined today and found to be pregnant for one month. The whole family is very happy and looks forward to the arrival of this little life. I would like to consult about when to start prenatal examinations and what to pay attention to during the examinations. I think it's a bit tense because it's the first child.

Doctor's answer:

If you have just checked carefully and confirmed that it is one month pregnant, you don't need to rush for a detailed check-up right now. The first prenatal check-up can be around the 50th day of pregnancy. At this time, an ultrasound check can see the fetal bud and fetal heartbeat, which can verify the gestational age and understand the development of the embryo. Now, relax your mind, pay attention to your daily routine, and take folic acid. The above can be used as a reference.
