How often should women get prenatal check-ups?

Patient's question:

One month pregnant, I'm so happy that the first little baby is finally here, but I don't know when to go for a prenatal check-up. Hello doctor, how often do women go for prenatal check-ups?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, a 5-week ultrasound shows a gestational sac, and a 7-8-week ultrasound shows a fetal pole and fetal heartbeat, diagnosing an intrauterine viable fetus. Before 12 weeks, visit a regular hospital for check-ups and establish medical records. Take folic acid tablets orally until the third month of pregnancy. Minimize sexual intercourse within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, enhance nutrition, pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid overtime work, and engage in appropriate outdoor activities. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
