Importance of blood test in early pregnancy

Early pregnancy check-up generally refers to the first prenatal check-up from the beginning of the pregnancy to the 12th week. Many expectant mothers think that early pregnancy check-ups are redundant and pay more attention to mid- and late pregnancy check-ups. In fact, this concept is wrong. The baby has not yet established itself in the early stages of pregnancy. Every examination is crucial for the mother and the fetus.

Because the early pregnancy (the first 3 months of pregnancy) is the period when the fetus implants, the embryo will change and develop rapidly. Among them, some pregnant mothers will encounter serious abnormal conditions during this period: chromosomal abnormalities, embryonic arrest, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage caused by various reasons, embryonic malformations (developmental abnormalities), etc. Early pregnancy check-up is an important prerequisite for ensuring eugenic offspring. It can help female friends discover hidden diseases in the body early so that timely measures can be taken to treat them and avoid affecting the development of the fetus during pregnancy.

At the same time, women experience great physical and mental changes in early pregnancy. Morning sickness, edema, drowsiness... These seemingly small problems deeply trouble mothers in the early stages of pregnancy. Correct diagnosis and treatment play a key role in the baby's growth and development and whether the pregnant woman can successfully go through pregnancy and delivery. Angel Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in West District of Chengdu introduced the British professional process and launched the exclusive early pregnancy assessment clinic on Mother's Day this year. The purpose is to help early pregnant mothers, a group that is easily overlooked, to avoid regrettable results from the source.

Relevant examinations in early pregnancy include systemic examinations and related gynecological examinations. Systemic examinations include general examinations of internal organs, as well as blood pressure, weight, height and other aspects. In addition, a gynecological examination is the most important, including the development of the internal and external genitalia, whether there is infection, the size and health of the uterus, etc. If gynecological diseases or other diseases are found, they should be treated before pregnancy.

There are also some examinations, which are mainly to understand the basic condition of the pregnant woman, including vaginal secretion examination, urine sugar, urine routine, liver function, hepatitis B antigen, etc. Pregnant women who have had viral infections in the past should also inform doctors of relevant matters to help them decide whether to start pregnancy.

After reading this, expectant mothers should have their own understanding of the importance of early pregnancy check-ups. I would like to remind everyone that because early pregnancy is the first check-up for mother and baby, it is best for the father to go together, because the doctor will understand some of the health conditions of the mother and father’s family members.
