Patient's question:
I am 16 weeks pregnant and I want to have a prenatal check-up. Hello, what are the items included in the 16-week prenatal examination? Is it painful?Doctor's answer:
You are currently 16 weeks pregnant, and this stage is suitable for the detailed screening test for Down syndrome. First, you need to undergo the Down syndrome screening test. The screening test mainly involves blood tests, which are generally not painful. Additionally, you may need to have liver function, kidney function, and four antiviral tests, as well as a complete blood count. You need to go to the hospital for regular prenatal check-ups, drink more water, pay attention to enhancing nutrition, and can take calcium supplements.
