Patient's question:
I am pregnant with my husband's child. Then, my husband is taking care of me as if he's gone crazy. Except, these past few days, he's preparing to make me do another prenatal check-up again. I don't want to go. It's barely been a few days since the last one. I want to know how many prenatal check-ups should be done throughout the entire pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Throughout the entire pregnancy, there are usually about ten to twelve prenatal check-ups, and the items checked during each visit can vary. In the first half of pregnancy, which is before the seventh month, the intervals for thorough examinations are roughly one or two months apart. In the later stages of pregnancy, more frequent examinations are necessary. After the eighth month, it is recommended to have a thorough examination every two weeks, and after the ninth month, it is advisable to have one every week. It is important to follow the doctor's advice and go to the hospital for various prenatal check-ups regularly.
