What tests should be done in the fifth month of pregnancy

Women must undergo some examinations after becoming pregnant in order to give birth to a healthy child. However, many women are pregnant for the first time and want to know what examinations they should do when they are five months pregnant. If you also want to know what examinations you need to do, you should know what pregnancy examinations you should do after reading the article below. I hope every pregnant mother will take these examinations seriously for the health of her baby and herself.

The purpose of mid-pregnancy B-ultrasound examination is to observe whether there are any abnormalities in the development of the fetal systems, tissues and organs, and to promptly detect fetal malformations, such as congenital heart disease, anencephaly, hydrocephalus, spina bifida, abdominal wall defect, short limbs, polycystic kidney, gastrointestinal atresia, etc. Ultrasound examination poses little harm to the fetus and will not affect the fetus's physical and mental development. Therefore, pregnant women do not need to be afraid of B-ultrasound examinations during pregnancy. Timely B-ultrasound examinations are an important means to ensure the normal development of the fetus. Under normal circumstances, the mid-pregnancy B-ultrasound examination should be arranged in the fourth or fifth month of pregnancy. The purpose is to understand whether the fetal development is consistent with the gestational age, observe the morphology and structure of the fetal organs, and rule out fetal malformations.

When is the best time for 4D color Doppler ultrasound?

The best time to do four-dimensional color ultrasound is 5-8 months of pregnancy (20-28 weeks), because the fetus's limbs and major organs have all developed during this period, and the amniotic fluid is more suitable for fetal malformation screening. However, due to individual differences among pregnant women, please contact your doctor for the specific time and set the time according to the doctor's instructions.

1. To take a full-body picture of the fetus: You can choose to do a four-dimensional color ultrasound in the early pregnancy. At this time, the fetus is still small, and the baby's whole body can be photographed through the instrument. It is worth reminding that it is not recommended to do a four-dimensional color ultrasound in January and February. There is controversy about doing four-dimensional color ultrasound during this pregnancy.

2. To check for external defects of the fetus: You can choose to do a four-dimensional color ultrasound in the second or third trimester. At this time, the baby's body has developed to a certain extent, and it is impossible to take a whole body picture of the baby, but you can observe the shape of a certain part of the baby.

I am almost 5 months pregnant (22 weeks). Is there anything I should check? What should I pay attention to?

B-ultrasound is needed to check for malformations. Prenatal examination requires B-ultrasound to understand the size, activity, heartbeat, amount of amniotic fluid, position of the placenta, organ development, etc. of the fetus. Routine blood and urine tests are also done to measure uterine height. The purpose of the check is to see whether the growth of uterine height and abdominal circumference is normal, and the number of fetuses should also be counted.

What examinations should be done when pregnant for five months? Now you should have some understanding of this knowledge after reading the above article. I hope that women who are five months pregnant can do the above examinations at the right time. It would be best if the examination showed no problems, but if there are problems, you should ask the doctor if there is any way to remedy the situation. If not, you should have an induced abortion.
