Daughter-in-law has been married for 2 years and is pregnant for 50 days. In order to have a healthy grandson, what are the detailed check-up items for pre-natal and post-natal care after getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hypothesis of the condition: Generally, pre-pregnancy health checks should be conducted before conception to identify any issues and seek treatment before trying to get pregnant. Currently in the early stages of pregnancy, it is also recommended to undergo relevant tests such as fetal MRI, thyroid function tests (TSH, T3, T4, TSH, TPO, TG, TRAb), and TORCH screening. Other routine prenatal care items include blood tests, urine tests, liver and kidney function tests, coagulation tests, and electrocardiograms, etc.Advice: It is recommended that you establish prenatal records and attend prenatal check-ups on schedule. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, an MRI should be performed for NT screening. After 16 weeks of pregnancy, prenatal screening for Down syndrome should be conducted. If the pregnant woman is over 35 years old, amniocentesis is recommended for prenatal diagnosis.
