When does pregnancy start prenatal examinations?

Patient's question:

Menstruation was delayed by a week, and I tested positive for pregnancy with morning urine. I haven't had a thorough check-up at the hospital yet. Hello, how many weeks into the pregnancy should one start prenatal care?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, at eight weeks of pregnancy, the prenatal checkup has already started. This is because at eight weeks, it is necessary to have an ultrasound examination at the hospital to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Then, at 12 weeks, it is necessary to have an NT examination at the hospital, and it is recommended to have treatment implemented. Follow the doctor's advice for prenatal checkups, and also pay close attention to your physical condition during daily life.
