What should pregnant women pay attention to during their first checkup?

Women always feel very excited after they become pregnant. After all, it is their first time to be a mother, so it is inevitable that their emotions will be a little unstable. At this time, they often can't wait to go to the hospital for examination to see their pregnancy status. What should pregnant women pay attention to during the first examination? The first prenatal examination is usually around 12 weeks. At this time, pregnant women must listen to the doctor's instructions and arrangements.

Usually a physical examination should be done 12 weeks after pregnancy. The doctor will ask about the medical history, perform a gynecological examination, and confirm the pregnancy. Another part is to do blood, urine and liver function tests to detect various diseases that affect pregnancy as early as possible. It is possible to have mild abdominal pain after a normal pregnancy, which is related to changes in the uterus and changes in hormone levels in the body. If the abdominal pain is obvious or accompanied by abnormal vaginal bleeding, you should be vigilant and go to the hospital for examination in time. Prevent the possibility of threatened abortion, ectopic pregnancy and other diseases.

1. Ultrasound examination: Ultrasound examination is performed 40 days and 60 days after menstruation to understand the implantation site of the embryo sac and the development of the embryo. Obstetric registration examination was performed 4 months after pregnancy, and ultrasound follow-up was performed according to obstetric requirements.

2. Cervical smear examination: Due to the increase in blood volume and abundant blood supply during pregnancy, if a tumor occurs in the cervix, timely treatment can improve the survival rate. Therefore, this examination is mainly to understand the morphology of cervical epithelial cells and rule out the occurrence of cervical tumors. Of course, cervical smear examination is a relatively basic examination method. When doubts arise, further colposcopy or cervical biopsy pathological section can be performed to confirm the diagnosis.

3. Leucorrhea examination: to find out whether there are Trichomonas or fungi in the vagina. If necessary, chlamydia, mycoplasma and gonococcus should be checked. If the above microorganisms are present, it is easy to cause ascending infection, affect embryonic development and induce miscarriage.

4. Doctors usually perform a bimanual examination to understand whether the size of the uterus is consistent with the gestational age. This is used as a basis for predicting the due date, which is especially important for those with irregular menstruation. If the menstruation is regular but the size of the uterus does not match the month of amenorrhea, further examination should be conducted to determine the cause and treatment should be given if necessary. At the same time, the doctor will measure your basal blood pressure, check your heart and lungs, do blood and urine tests and related tests, and guide you on the time of the next check-up.

I believe everyone is clear about what to pay attention to during the first check-up for pregnant women. Generally speaking, there are still many examination items to be done during the prenatal check-up, such as B-ultrasound, blood pressure, leucorrhea, etc. As long as they meet normal indicators and are determined to be not an ectopic pregnancy and the fetal development is normal, you can rest assured to take care of the fetus.
