How many days in early pregnancy should I go for a checkup?

In the early stages of pregnancy, you should go to the hospital for a check-up in time. Generally speaking, if your period is delayed for more than a week, you can go to the hospital for this check-up. Good examinations can prevent abnormal problems in the fetus, which is also an important guarantee for the good development of the fetus. In addition to good checkups, you should prevent miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy, strengthen your conditioning, and it is best not to have sex in the early stages of pregnancy.

How long does it take to get checked when you are pregnant?

If your period is delayed for more than a week and the test result is positive, you may be pregnant. You can go to the hospital for an HCG test 10-15 days after having sex. The blood HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) test can be detected one week after conception and is faster and more accurate than the ordinary urine test. It is recommended to go for a check-up at 8 weeks, when the embryo is slightly larger and can be clearly seen by B-ultrasound. The main contents of the examination are to look at the size of the gestational sac, fetal heart rate, embryo, amniotic fluid depth and other data.

It can also tell whether there are cysts in your uterus, whether the fetus is in a low position, etc. For most pregnant women, the first pregnancy check-up is at 12 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, it is necessary to establish a pregnancy health care manual, determine the gestational age, calculate the expected date of delivery, evaluate high-risk factors during pregnancy, fasting blood sugar, liver function and kidney function, hepatitis B virus surface antigen, syphilis spirochete, HIV screening, etc.

It is recommended that the baby-to-be also go for the check-up. B-ultrasound is mainly used to observe the basic condition of the fetus in the belly. Pregnant women within 18 weeks of pregnancy should not do B-ultrasound. The first examination time is between 18 and 20 weeks of pregnancy, which can determine whether it is a single or multiple pregnancy. The second examination is best done between 28 and 30 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, you can understand the fetal development, amniotic fluid volume, etc. The last time is preferably between 37 and 40 weeks of pregnancy to determine the fetal position, fetal size, placental maturity, whether the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, etc., to conduct the final evaluation before delivery.

Comprehensive examination for pregnant women

The first check-up mainly involves three things: first, measuring blood pressure to understand the pregnant woman's basic blood pressure condition. Second, supplement folic acid. Folic acid should generally be supplemented three months before pregnancy, but some pregnant women do not supplement it. Therefore, it should be remedied immediately after the pregnancy is confirmed, and supplemented until three months of pregnancy. Third, do an ultrasound at an appropriate time. Generally, we recommend doing an ultrasound within the first three months of pregnancy. The specific time depends on the actual situation of the pregnant woman.

Fourth, if the pregnant woman has some special medical history (such as history of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy), we will also do some related examinations. If the pregnant woman has a history of miscarriage, we may give her a blood test to understand the development of the embryo; when appropriate, we will also do a B-ultrasound examination to find out whether this pregnancy is normal. If there has been a history of ectopic pregnancy, we will do an ultrasound examination in the early stages of pregnancy to find out whether the current pregnancy is an ectopic pregnancy. In addition, you can refer to the early pregnancy examination items for examination based on the actual situation of the pregnant woman.
