When should you do the eugenics and healthy childbearing check?

Patient's question:

I've been pregnant for over a month. When I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, the doctor recommended an eugenics check-up.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: The involves blood tests to detect the presence of cytomegalovirus, rubella virus, herpes simplex virus, and toxoplasmosis. These four tests target microorganisms, and human infection does not typically cause obvious symptoms, making it easy to overlook. If a pregnant woman becomes infected with cytomegalovirus or herpes simplex virus, it may lead to intellectual disability, hearing and visual impairments, and language disorders in the fetus.
