Patient's question:
I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. How should a 38-year-old pregnant woman do the check-up?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to have blood biochemistry tests after the third month of pregnancy, including blood routine, blood type and Rh blood type, urine routine, liver function, kidney function, and electrocardiogram. From week 16 to week 36, check every 4 weeks. After week 36, check weekly. Each checkup should include weight and blood pressure measurements, examination for edema, fetal position review, fetal heart auscultation, and necessary ultrasound and fetal heart monitoring.
