What are the routine tests during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. What are the routine check-ups during prenatal examinations?

Doctor's answer:

Prenatal examination items mainly include blood tests (blood type), urine tests, gynecological ultrasound, chest X-ray, toxoplasmosis screening, sexually transmitted disease testing, liver function tests, cervical smear tests, chromosome tests, and six sex hormone tests, among others. Generally, around 16-20 weeks of pregnancy, the pregnant woman may begin to feel slight fetal movements. Due to individual differences in perception, some may feel the movements later. As long as the ultrasound examination shows normal fetal development, there is no need to worry. Pregnancy symptoms cannot determine the development of the fetus.
