What are the items in the third prenatal check-up?

Nowadays, with the improvement of medical technology, the survival rate of infants is getting higher and higher, and this is inseparable from the periodic prenatal examinations for pregnant women. Prenatal examinations before delivery allow people to understand the baby's development before the baby is born. Therefore, expectant mothers must not ignore it, and the prenatal check-up is divided into many times, and the items of each prenatal check-up are also different. So, what will be the items of the third prenatal check-up?

The main items of the third examination include: obstetric examination, urine routine test, and color B-ultrasound. The details are as follows:

1. Obstetric examination, routine prenatal check-up

2. Urinalysis: Urinalysis is one of the most commonly used tests in hospitals and is one of the basic indicators reflecting physical health. Urinalysis is one of the items in prenatal check-up for pregnant women. Urinalysis is a routine physical examination item that should be conducted from the confirmation of pregnancy until delivery, that is, every pregnant woman should undergo about 9-13 urine routine tests during pregnancy. However, in the daily work of the laboratory, we often encounter many expectant mothers who do not know how to correctly collect urine samples for examination. When doing a routine urine test, the urine sample must be collected correctly and in a standardized manner to ensure the accuracy of the urine test results.

3. Color B-ultrasound: at 20-22 weeks, the fetal organs have fully developed and are most clearly visible. Check whether the fetal shape and organs are normal. Use an ultrasound scanner to examine the surface of the pregnant woman's abdomen to check the size of the fetus, brain, spine, face, lips, heart, stomach, kidneys, bladder, abdominal wall, limbs, gender, umbilical cord blood vessels, placental position and amniotic fluid volume. If the fetus has serious abnormalities, termination of pregnancy may be considered before 24 weeks.

In fact, compared with the first and second prenatal check-ups, the third prenatal check-up does not include many items, because by the third check-up, the fetus in the womb is almost finalized. In the future, we will only pay attention to the health of the fetus to see if there are any emergencies. Therefore, everyone must attach great importance to prenatal examinations, which is one of the ways to ensure the healthy growth of children.
