List of antenatal check-up items

If you are pregnant, you should go to the hospital for the first prenatal check-up when you are about three months pregnant, which is called "pregnancy registration". At this time, you should make an appointment with the obstetrics department instead of the women's and children's department. The purpose of the first prenatal check-up is mainly to evaluate the physical condition of the pregnant woman, calculate the gestational age, predict the delivery date, etc. So, what should you pay attention to during this first prenatal check-up? What other inspection items are there?

1. Frequently Asked Questions

1. Go out as early as possible.

You should go out as early as possible for the first prenatal check-up. On the one hand, you will inevitably be at a loss when making an appointment with the obstetrics department for the first time, and it is easy to get a number if you go too late. On the other hand, there are many items that need to be checked during the first prenatal check-up, so if you go out late, it is easy to cause "crowding" during the examination, resulting in a long waiting time and fatigue of pregnant women.

2. The clothes are loose and easy to put on and take off.

It is best not to wear long-sleeved dresses or overalls during prenatal check-ups to avoid causing instability during the examination. Try to wear loose and easy-to-put-on clothes.

3. Keep your physical condition in mind.

During the first prenatal check-up, the doctor will ask some questions, such as whether the mother has been pregnant before, whether she has had a miscarriage, as well as her menstrual cycle, the time of her last menstrual period, medical history, etc., so pregnant mothers must be fully prepared.

2. Inspection Items

There are many new items in the first prenatal check-up, the main ones are:

1. Routine physical examination of the human body: height, weight, blood pressure, uterine height, fetal abdominal circumference, etc.

2. Listen to the fetal heart rate. The doctor will use a Doppler fetal heart monitor to listen to the baby's heart rate. Through the instrument, the pregnant mother can also hear the strong heartbeat of the fetus.

3. Urine test is mainly to confirm whether the pregnant mother has diabetes or poor glucose tolerance, as well as problems with metabolic protein. Here, it is important to note that when collecting urine, you should collect the "middle area urine" for inspection, and do not collect it right after urination.

4. Routine blood tests should focus on the mother's blood shape, whether she is anemic, liver function test and kidney function, as well as whether she has syphilis, hepatitis B, AIDS, etc. If so, it is recommended to inform the doctor in advance. In addition, routine blood tests may require fasting, so it is best to prepare some snacks and replenish nutrients immediately after the test.

Finally, after the first prenatal check-up, you will have to go through many tests, such as NT test, Down syndrome screening, amniocentesis (older mothers), fetal abnormality ultrasound, glucose tolerance test and so on. In short, the process of pregnancy is a very difficult thing, and men should cherish the woman who wants you to have a baby!
