Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? When is the medical record established for prenatal check-ups during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
During the examination, ultrasound, although ultrasound is non-invasive and does not emit radiation, cannot be done arbitrarily during pregnancy. It is recommended to have three ultrasound scans during pregnancy.The first scan is between the 3rd and 4th months of pregnancy. At this time, it can determine whether it is a single or multiple pregnancy, as well as assess the size and development of the fetus.
The second scan is around 6 months of pregnancy. It helps to understand the position of the fetus, the amount of amniotic fluid, and whether there are any abnormalities.
The third scan is during the last 2-3 months of pregnancy. It checks the fetal position, size, the maturity of the placenta, whether the umbilical cord is wrapped around the fetus, and prepares for prenatal care.
It is best not to have an ultrasound scan in the early stages of pregnancy. In special cases, such as bleeding or other symptoms, an ultrasound may be necessary. It is best not to exceed five scans.
