What are the examination items in late pregnancy?

We all know that if we want to know the situation of the fetus in the mother's belly, it is necessary to do a good prenatal examination, especially in the late pregnancy. The doctor will also judge which delivery method is suitable for the mother based on the examination results. However, the examination in the late pregnancy is also very important. However, due to the lack of experience of many people, they don't know what the examination items in the late pregnancy are. Let's learn about it together.

What are the examination items in late pregnancy?

1. Sixth prenatal check-up: 30 weeks of pregnancy

【Prenatal examination items】: blood pressure, weight, uterine fundus height, abdominal circumference, fetal heart rate, blood routine, urine routine

[Warm reminder]: This week's prenatal check-up is a routine check-up. Expectant mothers should pay attention to counting fetal movements every day and seek medical attention immediately if any abnormalities are found.

2. Seventh prenatal checkup: 32 weeks of pregnancy

【Prenatal examination items】: blood pressure, weight, uterine fundus height, abdominal circumference, fetal heart rate, fetal position, blood routine, urine routine, fetal heart monitoring

[Warm Tips]: Generally, starting from the 32nd week, fetal heart monitoring will be added to the prenatal check-up items. You can choose a comfortable posture for monitoring and avoid lying flat.
