Did not do any checks during the 20th week of pregnancy, will it have an impact?

Patient's question:

During the 20 weeks of pregnancy, I haven't had any thorough check-ups and have never had an ultrasound. Throughout the pregnancy, I've eaten everything, including drinks like beer, but I've only had less than three bottles. Now, I have all the symptoms that a pregnant woman should have, and I also have gynecological problems. Is the child not healthy? Will it be unhealthy if it's born?

Doctor's answer:

According to your situation, there are currently no obvious factors that may cause abnormal fetal growth and development. You should have regular prenatal check-ups. At around 21 weeks and 28 weeks, there are approximately two ultrasound screenings for fetal malformations. Regular prenatal check-ups are important, as each check-up has its own significance. Most fetal abnormalities can be detected through prenatal examinations. The gestational weeks that have passed are gone, and it is important to take serious prenatal care in the future. You are so young, and generally, the likelihood of fetal abnormalities is not high.
