Patient's question:
Currently about 8 weeks pregnant, next week is my first prenatal check-up. What are the items in your normal prenatal check-ups?Doctor's answer:
Normal prenatal examinations require different detailed check-ups based on the time of pregnancy. Now you are 8 weeks pregnant, and next week's prenatal examination will be at 9 weeks. You can undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination, check the levels of hCG and progesterone, and also test the four prenatal screening items. Based on the results of the color Doppler ultrasound examination, you can predict how well the fetus is developing according to the gestational age. Additionally, you can assess whether the progesterone levels are normal and whether they are interfering with the embryo's growth and development. The four prenatal screening items help determine if the pregnant woman has any viral or infectious conditions that could affect the fetus.
