Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have had a two-month menstrual cycle and pregnancy test results show I am pregnant. Is it necessary for me to go to the hospital for a check-up? I heard that having an ultrasound three months ago is harmful to the child. Should I wait until three months later to get checked? Additionally, although I bought folic acid tablets from a friend, I have only taken three. Is it necessary to continue taking them?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described, it is generally recommended to take folic acid in moderation during pregnancy and for the first three months after conception to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. Taking vitamin supplements will not affect the fetus either. After pregnancy, it is important to regularly visit the hospital for check-ups and seek timely treatment if any abnormalities are detected.
