Patient's question:
I had my last menstrual period on November 5th, and my conception date was November 21st. I would like to ask: I want to have an ultrasound examination at the hospital. But I don't know when is a good time to go for the check-up. Is it harmful to the fetus if I do an ultrasound too early? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Hello: Based on your situation, it is recommended to have a B examination at the hospital if your menstrual period is more than two weeks overdue.Daily Precautions for Early Pregnancy:
1. Healthy pregnant women can continue their regular work and physical activities, but should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy labor.
2. Pregnant women should maintain a good living environment with clean, well-ventilated rooms, and the temperature is best kept between 20–22°C.
3. Fats are particularly harmful to pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy, so it is advisable for them to avoid cooking during this time.
4. Pregnant women should bathe and change their underwear frequently. The duration of each bath should not exceed 15 minutes, and it is recommended to take a shower. The water temperature should not be too high, as excessively hot water can harm the fetal brain cells.
5. Pregnant women should not smoke, and they should also avoid living in smoky environments, as this can affect fetal development, leading to miscarriage or malformations.
6. Pregnant women should maintain a positive mood, and their husbands should pay special attention to caring for and comforting their wives. Avoid emotional excitement, as an unpleasant mood can have a negative impact on fetal brain development.
7. Avoid prolonged close viewing of television. Pregnant women should maintain a distance of at least 2 meters from the screen and should not watch thrilling TV programs.
8. In addition to normal work, ensure 8–10 hours of sleep per day.
9. Use regular skincare products, avoid applying lipstick or nail polish, and do not get hair straightened or colored.
