How many times should I do ultrasound after pregnancy to be correct?

Many pregnant women now have the wrong idea that they ask the doctor to do a B-ultrasound as soon as they feel stomach or body discomfort, especially in the first three months when the baby is unstable and they often go to the hospital. However, the baby is very fragile in the early stages of pregnancy, and B-ultrasound is bound to involve radiation, so you should not do an ultrasound as soon as there is a problem. Let’s find out how many times to do ultrasound during pregnancy.

The first time: The first B-ultrasound examination is done around 45 days after the pregnancy is confirmed. Purpose: To determine whether the pregnancy is single or multiple, to check whether there are any abnormalities in the pregnancy, whether there is any ectopic pregnancy, etc., to avoid the occurrence of hydatidiform mole and stillbirth.

Second time: The second ultrasound examination is done around 20 weeks after pregnancy. Purpose: At this time, the fetus in the abdomen has gradually become human and various organs have begun to develop. B-ultrasound examination can effectively monitor the development of various organs of the fetus, and can accurately judge the size of the fetus based on relevant data, and can also accurately predict the pregnancy time.

The third time: The last ultrasound examination is done around the 37th week of pregnancy, which is one to two weeks before delivery. Purpose: Mainly to understand the fetal position, placental maturity, fetal size, amount of amniotic fluid, and whether there is an umbilical cord around the neck, and then analyze the most appropriate way to deliver the baby based on the examination results.

Ultrasound examinations should not exceed 5 times during pregnancy. Women with vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, etc. must follow the doctor's advice for examination.

I hope that mothers-to-be will pay attention and not pay too much attention to some normal physiological changes. Multiple ultrasounds are not good for the baby and you need to pay more attention. I hope that all babies born by mothers-to-be will be healthy and cute. If you don’t understand something, ask the doctor in time instead of telling the doctor what to do. Listen to the doctor’s advice.
