What should I do if I get pregnant after menopause?

Patient's question:

Doctor Patient I am 38 years old this year, female. At my age, I am quite peculiar, because for the past three months, my menstruation has not come. I thought it was amenorrhea, but now it seems I am pregnant. What should I do after amenorrhea?

Doctor's answer:

Patient, you have discovered that you are pregnant. You must go to the hospital for a systematic and thorough examination, including a color Doppler ultrasound examination, to determine how long you have been pregnant, check if it is an intrauterine or ectopic pregnancy, estimate the due date, and create a maternity health record. Pregnancy after menopause is the same as normal pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, take folic acid orally to prevent fetal neural tube defects, and undergo liver function, kidney function, blood sugar, and pre-natal genetic function tests. Regular prenatal examinations are required, including a non-invasive DNA screening at 12 weeks and a major prenatal ultrasound at 22 weeks.
