Should I do an ultrasound at 28 weeks of pregnancy?

Pregnant women can go for B-ultrasound examinations at 28 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, they can see their baby's developing limbs and organs, and can also know the specific situation of their development at the first time. If any abnormal reactions occur, they can make correct treatment as soon as possible. Especially for pregnant women who already suffer from other diseases, they should actively go for prenatal checkups and closely observe changes in the fetus.

Prenatal check-up tips

Fifth prenatal checkup

This prenatal check-up included routine items, including blood pressure, weight, uterine height, abdominal circumference, and Doppler fetal heart rate. Pregnant women with high blood pressure and severe edema may be asked by their doctors to do a routine urine test to rule out the possibility of preeclampsia.

Hepatitis B mother

In addition to the above tests, if you are not sure whether you have hepatitis B antibodies in your body, the doctor will also ask you to have a blood test for hepatitis B. The purpose is to check whether the expectant mother herself is a carrier or has been infected with hepatitis B. If both hepatitis B tests of the expectant mother are positive, the doctor will record it and vaccinate the newborn within 24 hours after the pregnant mother gives birth to the fetus to prevent the newborn from being infected. At the same time, it is recommended that you give up breastfeeding.

More exercise to help with childbirth

Mothers who are already 28 weeks pregnant should prepare more for childbirth. Doing more breathing exercises can be of great benefit to a smooth delivery. Generally speaking, breathing exercises can be divided into shallow breathing and deep breathing. When practicing shallow breathing, you can sit on the floor, preferably with a wall behind you, then cross your legs in front of your body, keep your back straight, and exhale and inhale through your mouth. To practice deep breathing, the pregnant mother should sit on the floor in a comfortable position, cross her legs in front of her body, keep her back straight, take a deep breath through her nostrils, then exhale slowly, and repeat the exercise.

Take care of your nipples regularly

In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, you should wipe your nipples gently with a hot and damp towel more often, but never use soap or other alkaline detergents to clean your nipples, otherwise it will wash away the lubricating substances and oils naturally secreted from the areola or nipples.

Starting from this week, the fetus enters the fastest growth stage. The diet of pregnant women should focus on comprehensive nutrition, with small quantity and variety as the two basic points. Generally, we should eat small and frequent meals, and control the amount of food we eat appropriately, especially high-protein and high-fat foods. Eating too much of these foods will cause the fetus to grow too large, which will bring certain difficulties to delivery.
