Patient's question:
Since my wife got pregnant, we have been more excited and haven't quite reacted yet to the need for prenatal examinations. Yesterday, I talked to a colleague, and he said that there needs to be a medical record established before the prenatal examinations can be carried out. For this reason, I would like to specifically consult about what is the best time for the first prenatal examination?Doctor's answer:
Prenatal examinations after pregnancy are very important, generally involving about 7-11 visits, and can be adjusted according to the specific circumstances of the pregnant woman. The best time for the first prenatal examination is 6-8 weeks after the menstrual period stops. At this time, it is usually possible to see the developing gestational sac and fetal heartbeat in the uterine cavity. Seeing these tissues indicates that the fetus is developing normally, and it is possible to rest and nurture the pregnancy with peace of mind. During the treatment period, patients need to follow a regulated diet, maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health to maintain personal hygiene. This helps avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
