Patient's question:
My wife has been pregnant for more than two months and needs to go for prenatal check-ups every once in a while. I would like to consult about how many prenatal check-ups are usually done during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Wife, you are now about two and a half months pregnant. In the recent period, you need to go to the hospital for prenatal examinations. Generally, prenatal examinations require irregular check-ups, and the total number of prenatal examinations throughout the pregnancy is about ten. First, you need to have a detailed ultrasound to confirm intrauterine pregnancy, then check the fetal heartbeat to ensure it is within the normal range. At 11 to 14 weeks, an NT scan is performed, and at 14 to 21 weeks, a detailed prenatal screening is done. At 22 to 26 weeks, a detailed 4D ultrasound is conducted.
