34 weeks of pregnancy check-up items

Entering the 34th week of pregnancy has already indicated that the pregnancy has entered the late stage. At the same time, prenatal check-ups also seem to be very important. Prenatal check-ups are used to estimate the baby's development and the mother's own condition. The prenatal check-up at 34 weeks of pregnancy is already the eighth prenatal check-up during the pregnancy. There may be some changes compared to the prenatal check-ups in the early and mid-pregnancy periods. So what does the prenatal check-up at 34 weeks of pregnancy contain?

What are the contents of the 34-week pregnancy test?

1. Basic prenatal examination items: The frequency of prenatal examinations will increase relatively in the later stages of pregnancy. Routine physical examination items still include blood pressure, weight, uterine fundus height, fetal abdominal circumference, fetal heart rate, fetal position check, blood test, urine test, and every prenatal examination in the later stages of pregnancy will carry out fetal heart rate monitoring. Routine physical examination items can help doctors better understand the physical condition of pregnant women and the growth and development of the fetus in the uterine cavity, and prepare for delivery after full term.

2. Key prenatal examination items: Electrocardiogram plays an important role in early detection and early treatment of heart disease during pregnancy and prevention of its complications. In the later stages of pregnancy, blood flow increases, reaching a peak at 32-34 weeks of pregnancy. The workload on the heart increases, and during delivery, the blood of pregnant women is in a state of increased stasis, and the frictional resistance of the venous circulation system increases. Some pregnant women are prone to heart failure or even decline. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct a follow-up electrocardiogram in the late pregnancy.

What should you do before taking a pregnancy test?

Wear loose clothes to facilitate doctor's examination. Bring a bag for convenient storage of receipts. Pay more attention to bathing, especially cleaning the lower body every day. Also remember to drink plenty of water. You should arrive at the hospital earlier on the day of the prenatal check-up because there are many expectant mothers who need to have prenatal check-ups and the queue is quite long.

The prenatal check-up at 34 weeks of pregnancy may add some new items. In addition to testing the fetal heart rate and growth status, the condition of the pregnant mother should also be observed. Electrocardiogram can be used to check in advance the pregnant woman with high risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so as to carry out intensive monitoring and guidance and timely treatment. At the same time, the examination can monitor the pregnant woman's heart stress status and prepare for a safe delivery.
