Patient's question:
Medical Description: I discovered I am pregnant myself. I heard that doing an early ultrasound examination is not good for the fetus. Is that right? When should I go to the hospital for the first check-up? Some people say 50 days, and others say three months. So, when exactly?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prenatal examinations should begin from the time of confirmed early pregnancy. Before 28 weeks of gestation, check-ups should be conducted every four weeks. After 28 weeks of gestation, check-ups should be conducted every two weeks. After 36 weeks of gestation, check-ups should be conducted weekly. If you are in a high-risk pregnancy, the frequency of prenatal check-ups should be increased as appropriate.It is recommended to continue taking folic acid until the third month of pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects in newborns. Pay attention to nutrition during pregnancy, avoid heavy physical labor and sexual activity, and engage in moderate exercise.
It is recommended to go to a regular public hospital after urinating to have your first prenatal examination.
