Patient's question:
I had my period on November 12th. I had a CT scan on November 20th and another one on December 12th. Today, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found out I'm pregnant. In this situation, can the baby be kept?Doctor's answer:
Just finished the CT scan, and currently experiencing pregnancy symptoms. It may cause some interference to the fetus, so you need to consider carefully. Generally, it's recommended to wait until three months before considering having a child. Currently, pay attention to rest. If you want to preserve the fetus, it's necessary to strictly conduct prenatal examinations. At 14-19 weeks of pregnancy, undergo the Down syndrome screening. At 22-26 weeks, have a 4D color Doppler ultrasound. After delivery, perform a fetal anomaly scan. If necessary, at 16-20 weeks, undergo amniocentesis and cord blood testing. This can help determine the baby's growth and development inside the uterus.
