The best time to do a pregnancy test

Pregnancy must be very exciting for a new mother. I know that for a new mother it is not only excitement, but also a lot of worries. Because you don’t know how to take good care of your body, you don’t know what to do and what not to do during pregnancy, and you don’t know how to give birth to a healthy and strong baby. Especially when to do prenatal check-ups, how often to do them, and what to pay attention to. You shouldn't worry, don't worry, let me call you.

Prenatal examinations include two aspects: one is a full physical examination of the pregnant woman, including examination of important organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys, as well as measuring blood pressure, weighing the body, and doing blood and urine tests. This can promptly detect whether the pregnant woman suffers from diseases that affect pregnancy and pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, etc. The second is to check the position, heart sounds, activities and development of the fetus. The first prenatal check-up is generally done in the first 3 months, monthly within 4-6 months, every half month from 7 to 8 months, and weekly after 9 months until the baby is born. If there are special circumstances, check at any time. The first pregnancy check-up is done around 12 weeks (three months). 2. 13-16 weeks, the second check-up: Down syndrome screening 3. 17-20 weeks, the third check-up 4. 21-24 weeks, the fourth check-up: gestational diabetes screening 5. 25-28 weeks, the fifth check-up: Hepatitis B antigen syphilis serum test 6. 29-32 weeks, the sixth check-up: lower limb edema, preeclampsia and prevention of premature birth 7. 33-35 weeks, the seventh check-up: ultrasound (B-ultrasound) examination to assess fetal weight 8. 36 weeks, the eighth check-up: prepare for delivery and reduce AA times 9. 37 weeks, the ninth check-up: pay attention to fetal movement 10. 38-42 weeks, the tenth check-up: fixed fetal position and descent of the fetal head

First prenatal check-up: 12 weeks of pregnancy, mainly including blood pressure, weight, uterine height, abdominal circumference, Doppler, gynecological examination, pregnancy nutrition monitoring, B-ultrasound, electrocardiogram and MDI secretion. The second prenatal check-up: from 16 to 20 weeks of pregnancy, mainly includes prenatal check-up, Down syndrome screening, blood routine, urine routine, liver function, blood test, virus test, etc. The third prenatal check-up: from 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy, mainly includes prenatal check-up, gestational hypertension, sugar screening and major fetal malformation screening. The fourth prenatal check-up: 28 to 30 weeks of pregnancy, mainly prenatal check-up, B-ultrasound, blood routine and urine routine. Fifth prenatal check-up: 32~34 weeks of pregnancy, the contents are the same as the fourth check-up. Sixth prenatal check-up: 36 weeks of pregnancy, mainly prenatal check-up and fetal heart rate monitoring. The seventh prenatal check-up: 37 weeks of pregnancy, mainly prenatal check-up, fetal heart monitoring, color Doppler ultrasound, blood routine and urine routine. The eighth prenatal check-up: 38 weeks of pregnancy, mainly prenatal check-up and fetal heart monitoring. Ninth prenatal check-up: 39 weeks of pregnancy, the examination content is the same as the eighth. The tenth prenatal check-up: 40 weeks of pregnancy, mainly including prenatal check-up, fetal heart monitoring, B-ultrasound, four blood coagulation tests, blood routine, urine routine, and electrocardiogram.

Since pregnant women are most likely to suffer miscarriage before 12 weeks of pregnancy, if they experience symptoms such as lower abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, they should go to the hospital immediately for medical treatment. If there is a family history of genetic disease, chorionic villus sampling can also be done at this time. The doctor will recommend the time and content of the next examination based on the results of each examination. Pregnant mothers must not do more unnecessary examinations in order to know more. First, the examinations may not be useful. Second, excessive examinations are not good for the fetus itself. At the same time, the more examinations are done, the less help it will be for the development of the fetus itself. In addition to some examinations that must be done in the hospital, there are some that pregnant women can measure themselves at home, such as weight and waist circumference. Weight: 10 weeks of pregnancy - weight gain 660 grams; 20 weeks of pregnancy - weight gain 3900 grams; 30 weeks of pregnancy - weight gain 8500 grams; 40 weeks of pregnancy - weight gain 12500 grams.

Abdominal circumference: Varies from person to person. From 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy, it increases by 1.6 cm per week. From 24 to 36 weeks of pregnancy, it increases by 0.8 cm per week. After 36 weeks of pregnancy, it increases by 0.3 cm per week. It is generally sufficient to follow the doctor's advice for checkups throughout the pregnancy. In case of emergency or uncertainty, you should seek medical attention promptly.

The above is the specific situation I introduced to you. I believe that you will understand more after reading the membership. What I want to say about pregnancy is that everyone really needs to pay attention. At this time, mothers especially need to pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation. Nothing can go wrong during this critical period. If you don't understand something, try to understand it as much as possible and ask experienced people or doctors.
