Pregnancy B-ultrasound frequency and time period

We all know that each of us comes into this world by being born from our mother’s belly. Our mothers carry us for ten months and give birth to us successfully. Many people may want to know how a life is born? In fact, it takes a long process for our sperm and egg cells to combine and hatch in the mother's body. During this period, we need to perform B-ultrasound to check the health status of our baby. Maybe everyone is particularly interested in the question of how many B-ultrasounds should be done during pregnancy. Let us learn about the number of B-ultrasounds during pregnancy.

It should be three or four times.

Time period:

Generally, three B-ultrasounds are required during the entire pregnancy. The first one is in January and February, mainly to confirm the pregnancy and rule out ectopic pregnancy. The second one is in five months, the main purpose is to see whether the baby is growing well and has any defects. The next one is the expected date of delivery, the purpose is to observe whether the baby has the umbilical cord around the neck, so as to decide whether to have a natural birth or a caesarean section. The first examination is between 18 and 20 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, the fetus has already taken shape. The focus of this examination is to rule out true fetal malformations, so it is a must-do examination. Most obstetricians and gynecologists do not recommend ultrasound for pregnant women within 18 weeks of pregnancy, especially within 12 weeks of pregnancy. However, if a pregnant woman experiences a worrying situation in the early stages, such as vaginal bleeding or sudden abdominal pain, using B-ultrasound to determine whether the embryo is alive and whether the pregnancy can continue; whether there is an abnormal pregnancy like ectopic pregnancy or hydatidiform mole is the most direct and reliable means, and it is wise to actively cooperate with the doctor's examination. The second examination can be done when necessary to understand the growth and development of the fetus, the condition of the amniotic fluid, and whether there are any abnormalities in the placenta in the late pregnancy. If the pregnancy is abnormal, the number of B-ultrasound examinations will be determined based on the condition. For example, when there is too much amniotic fluid, the amount of amniotic fluid may need to be measured frequently before and after treatment. If the pregnancy exceeds 40 weeks, B-ultrasound examinations may be required 1 to 2 times a week to measure the amount of amniotic fluid and evaluate the condition of the fetus in the uterus.

The above content introduces the number of B-ultrasound times during pregnancy, which satisfies the curiosity of many people. We know how we came into this world step by step and how we grew up step by step. We should all learn more about this aspect so that we can realize that our life is hard-earned.
