Patient's question:
I am currently about two months pregnant with my second child. I was thinking of going to the hospital for a prenatal check-up and to set up a medical record. However, since I just bought a house here, it's different from my hometown, and it's said that appointments are required. So, I want to be well-prepared and understand in case I can't get a spot for the prenatal check-up. Hello, which department should I book an appointment with for the prenatal check-up?Doctor's answer:
Hello, all check-ups after pregnancy should be done at the obstetrics department. However, the time to establish a medical record at two months of pregnancy is too early. Because the first check-up can only confirm whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy and estimate the growth and development status of the gestational sac. If there is no problem in the first check-up, the doctor will tell you to go to the hospital again to establish a medical record before 12 weeks of pregnancy. When establishing a medical record, you should go on an empty stomach, and it will check NT as well as blood tests.
