How many months of pregnancy can I visit the obstetrics department?

Many pregnant mothers are very happy and anxious when they learn that they are pregnant. There are many new things that they need to master and learn, and there are also many things that they need to pay attention to. There is no doubt that many pregnant mothers have such doubts. How long does it take for them to be pregnant before they can go to the obstetrics department? Let's take a look together.

How long does it take to go to the obstetrics department during pregnancy?

Generally, you will start to visit the obstetrics department in the third month of pregnancy, because this is the time to create a doctor, which means it is officially time to start prenatal checkups. In fact, you need to go to the hospital for a check-up around 50 days of pregnancy. You can go to the obstetrics department or the gynecology department. The doctor will arrange a B-ultrasound examination, mainly to see if it is an intrauterine pregnancy. After pregnancy, you usually have a gynecological examination, and then transfer to the obstetrics department for a pregnancy check-up after the pregnancy stabilizes.

First of all, we all know that women in the early stages of pregnancy can self-diagnose, and there is no need for testing if there are no abnormalities in the first month of pregnancy. If no abnormalities are found during the first pregnancy, the pregnancy should be checked every 4 weeks from 20 to 36 weeks, and once a week after 36 weeks, for a total of 9 pregnancy checks. In some hospitals, obstetrics and gynecology departments are together, but in a very few hospitals, they are separated. Of course, gynecologists are more specialized. When you go to the hospital outpatient department and tell the person at the appointment counter that you want to have a pregnancy check-up, most pregnant women will choose to go to the obstetrics department.

You can go to the obstetrics department for check-ups from the moment you are pregnant. After 12 weeks, you will need to undergo a comprehensive check-up, consider the hospital where you will give birth, and create a prenatal check-up file. During pregnancy, it is best to have checkups in the same hospital and see the same doctor as much as possible. This way the doctor will have a better understanding of your condition throughout your pregnancy, which will be of great benefit to your future delivery.

What are the benefits of pregnancy testing?

Early pregnancy: Pregnancy checkups in early pregnancy can confirm pregnancy as early as possible, and through accurate blood pressure measurement, blood and urine testing, comprehensive physical examination and genetic counseling, etc., to fully understand the physical and mental health of the pregnant woman, assess whether she can endure the entire pregnancy process, and check for any adverse pregnancy risks.

Second trimester: Second trimester check-ups can promptly observe and understand the physical and mental changes of the pregnant woman and the development of the fetus, understand whether the fetal position is normal, whether there are any abnormalities in the pregnant woman's pelvis, and begin to make early preparations for late-stage delivery.

Late pregnancy: Pregnancy checkups in the middle and late stages can detect abnormalities in time before delivery and take the initiative to prevent them, making it easier for doctors to provide appropriate pre-delivery health guidance and choose the appropriate delivery method to ensure the safety and completeness of delivery.

Prenatal checkups during pregnancy can promptly detect abnormal physical and mental health problems, and make timely corrections and improvements to promote health care during pregnancy. Generally, at least 10 to 12 prenatal checkups are required during the entire pregnancy period. I hope that expectant mothers can pay attention to it and take responsibility for their own health and the healthy growth and development of their babies.
