Patient's question:
During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. How many weeks into the pregnancy should the first prenatal examination be done?Doctor's answer:
Starting from the time of confirmed early pregnancy, detailed medical history should be taken, a comprehensive physical examination should be conducted, obstetric examinations should be performed, pelvic measurements should be carried out, and necessary auxiliary examinations such as ultrasound should be supplemented. Blood tests and urine tests should also be included. Subsequently, a total of 9 antenatal examinations should be conducted at the gestational weeks of 20, 24, 28, 32, 38, 39, and 40. If there are any abnormal conditions, the frequency of follow-up examinations should be adjusted accordingly. Antenatal examinations are generally conducted once a month within the first 6 months of pregnancy, every 15 days during the 7th and 8th months, and once a week after the 9th month, until the baby is born. Special circumstances may result in examinations being conducted at any time.
