What tests are needed during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The most important item in the prenatal check-up at 20 weeks is the ultrasound screening for fetal abnormalities. An ultrasound examination at 20 weeks of pregnancy is primarily used to check if there are any significant issues with the fetus's external development. The doctor will carefully measure the fetus's head circumference and abdominal circumference, examine the length of the thigh bone, and check for any congenital abnormalities in the spine.
