Patient's question:
I got my last menstrual period on February 4th of this year. On July 13th, I got checked, and the doctor said it was around 75 days. But when I calculated, it was only 70 days. Does this mean the baby was conceived before my period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, clinically pregnancy is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. It is recommended that you have a Down syndrome screening at 15-20 weeks of pregnancy to check the intellectual development of the fetus, and a four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound at 22-26 weeks to detect major malformations and the development of main organs. Generally, doctors will advise women with risk signs of prenatal examination to maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. In addition, patients should also create an environment conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
