The question of how many times should we do B-ultrasound during pregnancy needs to attract the attention of our pregnant mothers. B-ultrasound testing during pregnancy is an indispensable part. Many of our pregnant mothers are very concerned about their children's health, so they will go to the hospital for B-ultrasound. B-ultrasound can check all aspects of our children's physical condition and the physical health of our mothers. Then there are some matters that we should pay attention to during B-ultrasound. Many people do not know much about some knowledge about B-ultrasound in the fourth month of pregnancy. Maybe many pregnant mothers want to know how many times should we do B-ultrasound during pregnancy? Let us take a look at it together below.

During pregnancy, you should have three ultrasound examinations.

Note:

Generally, three B-ultrasounds are required during the entire pregnancy. The first one is in January and February, mainly to confirm the pregnancy and rule out ectopic pregnancy. The second one is in five months, the main purpose is to see whether the baby is growing well and has any defects. The next one is the expected date of delivery, the purpose is to observe whether the baby has the umbilical cord around the neck, so as to decide whether to have a natural birth or a caesarean section. The first examination is between 18 and 20 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, the fetus has already taken shape. The focus of this examination is to rule out true fetal malformations, so it is a must-do examination. Most obstetricians and gynecologists do not recommend ultrasound for pregnant women within 18 weeks of pregnancy, especially within 12 weeks of pregnancy. However, if a pregnant woman experiences a worrying situation in the early stages, such as vaginal bleeding or sudden abdominal pain, using B-ultrasound to determine whether the embryo is alive and whether the pregnancy can continue; whether there is an abnormal pregnancy like ectopic pregnancy or hydatidiform mole is the most direct and reliable means, and it is wise to actively cooperate with the doctor's examination. The second examination can be done when necessary to understand the growth and development of the fetus, the condition of the amniotic fluid, and whether there are any abnormalities in the placenta in the late pregnancy. If the pregnancy is abnormal, the number of B-ultrasound examinations will be determined based on the condition. For example, when there is too much amniotic fluid, the amount of amniotic fluid may need to be measured frequently before and after treatment. If the pregnancy exceeds 40 weeks, B-ultrasound examinations may be required 1 to 2 times a week to measure the amount of amniotic fluid and evaluate the condition of the fetus in the uterus.
