Pregnancy (also known as pregnancy) refers to the process of creating and growing an embryo or fetus in the body of a female mammal. The human pregnancy process is divided into three stages: the period before 12 weeks of pregnancy is called early pregnancy; the period from 13th to 27th weeks is called mid-pregnancy; and the period from 28th week onwards is called late pregnancy. Good prenatal care can help improve your health during pregnancy, including taking more folic acid, avoiding methamphetamine and alcohol, regular exercise, and prenatal checkups. Complications caused by pregnancy include pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, iron deficiency anemia, etc. Is it not necessary to check hcg frequently during pregnancy? There is no need to check hcg frequently during pregnancy. If you experience abdominal pain and bleeding in early pregnancy, you can check your blood hcg several times. The main purpose is to determine whether there is a possibility of ectopic pregnancy. If there is no abdominal pain or bleeding, it is clear that you are pregnant. You can wait one to half a month before checking with color Doppler ultrasound. Checking the blood hcg can only help to confirm the diagnosis but cannot diagnose it. Slow growth does not rule out ectopic pregnancy or incomplete development of the test tube embryo. If the fetal sac cannot be seen during ultrasound examination six to seven weeks after menstruation, ectopic pregnancy is highly suspected. This situation can be checked several times. Early pregnancy symptoms Women of childbearing age with a history of amenorrhea and sexual intercourse should be suspected of being pregnant if their menstrual period is overdue for 10 days or more. Amenorrhea may be the first and most important symptom of pregnancy. But please note that amenorrhea does not necessarily mean pregnancy. About half of women experience symptoms such as chills, dizziness, fatigue, constant sleepiness, drooling, poor appetite, preference for sour foods or aversion to greasy foods, nausea, and vomiting in the morning about 6 weeks after menstruation. These symptoms are called early pregnancy reactions. Early pregnancy reactions will disappear on their own after about 12 weeks of pregnancy. Frequent urination and urgency occur in the early stages of pregnancy and are caused by the enlarged, protruding uterus compressing the bladder in the pelvis. About 12 weeks after pregnancy, when the uterus enters the abdomen and no longer compresses the bladder, the symptoms of frequent urination will naturally subside. |
