When should pregnant women have prenatal examinations?

Patient's question:

I've been pregnant for a month. I heard that after getting pregnant, you need to do prenatal examinations. When should I do the prenatal examination after getting pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, the first prenatal check-up should be done three months before. After discovering pregnancy, you can go to the hospital for further detailed tests such as urinalysis, blood tests, syphilis, HIV, liver and kidney function, blood sugar, blood type, and the four items of prenatal screening. In the absence of special circumstances, you can also go to the hospital for a color ultrasound between 11 weeks and 13 weeks and six days to check the thickness of the translucent layer. Between 15 weeks and 20 weeks, you can have a triple screen test. Between 22 and 26 weeks, you can have a 2D or 4D color ultrasound to rule out fetal abnormalities.
