What tests are needed before childbirth?

Pregnant women should undergo general examinations before giving birth to detect abnormalities as early as possible and deal with them as soon as possible; corresponding examinations should also be carried out on the fetus, such as fetal maturity, placental function, intrauterine diagnosis of fetal malformations, and intrauterine diagnosis of fetal genetic diseases, so as to accurately grasp the growth and development of the fetus, as well as the mode of delivery. Let’s discuss what examinations need to be done before delivery.

34 weeks of pregnancy

This examination will include routine blood and urine tests, pregnancy examination (uterine height, fetal abdominal circumference, fetal heartbeat, fetal position, blood pressure, and weight). Instruct pregnant women to count fetal movements by themselves, and provide guidance to correct fetal positions if the fetus is in an abnormal position.

36 weeks of pregnancy

This examination will include a follow-up urine routine test, pregnancy check (uterine height, fetal abdominal circumference, fetal heartbeat, fetal position check, blood pressure, and weight). Specific guidance for pregnant women to count fetal movements by themselves. If the Australia antigen is positive, 200 IU of hepatitis B immunoglobulin should be injected intramuscularly.

37 weeks of pregnancy

This examination will include follow-up blood and urine routine tests, follow-up liver function tests for those with abnormal liver function, four blood coagulation tests, B-ultrasound, electrocardiogram, and pregnancy tests (uterine height, fetal abdominal circumference, fetal heartbeat, fetal position check, blood pressure, and weight).

Check the comprehensive conditions of the fetus and the pregnant woman's pelvis to decide the mode of delivery. Fetal heart rate monitoring, self-counting of fetal movements, and specific guidance for pregnant women to follow up on any discomfort such as abdominal pain, spotting during pregnancy, and vaginal discharge.

38 weeks of pregnancy

This examination will include a follow-up urine test, pregnancy check (uterine height, fetal abdominal circumference, fetal heartbeat, fetal position check, blood pressure, weight), guidance on self-counting fetal movements and signs of labor, and fetal heart rate monitoring.

39 weeks of pregnancy

This examination will include a follow-up urine test, pregnancy check (uterine height, fetal abdominal circumference, fetal heartbeat, fetal position check, blood pressure, weight), guidance on self-counting fetal movements and signs of labor, and fetal heart rate monitoring.

40 weeks of pregnancy

This examination will include routine blood and urine tests, pregnancy examination (uterine height, fetal abdominal circumference, fetal heartbeat, fetal position check, blood pressure, weight), guidance on self-counting fetal movements and signs of labor, and fetal heart rate monitoring.
