What examinations are needed for the second pregnancy examination

Generally speaking, it is quite difficult for women to give birth to their first child because they have no experience in childbirth and therefore do not know much about the common sense of childbirth. When a woman is pregnant with her second child, it is generally easier, but when pregnant with her second child, she should also go to the hospital for regular prenatal checkups to rule out any abnormalities. If a woman is pregnant with her second child, what tests should she do during the prenatal checkup?

What are the pre-pregnancy check-ups for the second child?

The second prenatal check-up can only do addition, not subtraction. Except for blood type test and thalassemia test, most of the items in the first prenatal check-up need to be rechecked for the second prenatal.

1. Reproductive system examination. Routine examination of leucorrhea can be used to detect infectious diseases such as trichomoniasis, fungus, mycoplasma and chlamydia infection, and syphilis; it can also be used to check for gynecological diseases. If you are ill, it is best to get treatment before getting pregnant to avoid miscarriage or premature birth.

2. Complete examination for deformity. It includes three items: rubella, toxoplasmosis and cytomegalovirus. The examination is generally conducted in the first three months of pregnancy. Women who like to keep pets should not ignore this examination.

3. Liver function. If the mother has hepatitis, it may cause premature birth of the fetus, and the virus can be directly passed on to the child. Currently, there are two types of liver function tests, large and small, and pregnant mothers can choose according to their actual situation.

4. Urinalysis. Helps in early diagnosis of kidney disease.

In addition to women, men should also undergo prenatal check-ups in the three months before pregnancy. The examination items include blood routine, urinary system, stool routine, electrocardiogram, liver function, chromosome examination, physical examination, semen routine, etc. Prenatal check-up for the second child cannot be ignored. Prenatal checkups for the second child are all for the purpose of eugenics and good parenting. In order to give birth to a healthy baby, parents who want to have a second child must go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup in time!

The additional examination items during the second pregnancy check-up vary depending on the mother, and are mainly the following.

1. General pregnant women - Genetic testing to prevent Down syndrome

The general prenatal examination process is similar to that of ordinary prenatal examinations for general mothers, but they are generally over 35 years old. To prevent Down syndrome, they need to undergo amniocentesis or non-invasive genetic testing, of which non-invasive genetic testing only requires a few milliliters of blood to complete.

2. Pregnant women with diabetes, high blood sugar and high cholesterol - visit relevant departments

In addition to prenatal check-ups, pregnant women with "three highs" or diabetes also need to go to disease-related departments for additional check-ups. In the case of a second child at an advanced age, the cooperation of the two departments can better ensure the safety of mother and child. Depending on the circumstances, the cost is probably several hundred yuan.

3. Women who delivered their first baby by caesarean section: pay attention to ultrasound examination

Women who have their first baby by caesarean section do not actually need to add any additional items, but they should inform the doctor before the ultrasound examination, because if the gestational sac of a woman who has her first baby by caesarean section stays on the previous wound, the woman will be in danger. In addition, the thickness of the uterus also requires extra attention, so it will be checked by a more experienced ultrasound doctor.
