How long does it take to detect fetal heart rate and fetal bud during pregnancy
Pregnancy examination is very important for every pregnant woman. The examination can not only understand the condition of the fetus, but also detect problems in time so that they can be dealt with in time. Among them, fetal heart rate and fetal bud examination is one of the most critical examinations in early pregnancy. The timing and precautions for fetal heart rate and fetal bud examination are introduced below from several stages of pregnancy.
1. Early pregnancy (6~10 weeks)
In the early stages of pregnancy, when the fetal bud has not yet grown into a fully formed fetus, the most critical thing at this time is the fetal heart rate check. Fetal heartbeat testing can generally be done via vaginal ultrasound or abdominal ultrasound. The time when the fetal heartbeat appears varies from person to person. Generally, it can only be heard between the 6th and 10th weeks. If it cannot be detected, please do not be too nervous.
At this time, you should drink plenty of water so that the doctor can perform peritoneal ultrasound during the examination. Since the fetus is relatively small at this time, pay attention to rest at this time and avoid being too tired. When blood and urine tests are required, normal times should be chosen to reduce the impact on the fetus.
2. Mid-term (14~28 weeks)
The fetus in the second trimester gradually grows up and becomes more mature. This is the best time to check for fetal buds. After 14 weeks, ultrasound is used to check whether the fetal shape and body organs are normal. At the same time, Down syndrome screening can be performed through amniocentesis to rule out the possibility of certain abnormal pregnancy diseases.
During this period, you should pay more attention to the nutritional intake of the fetus and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. At the same time, do not engage in strenuous exercise before the examination to avoid affecting the fetal examination results.
3. Late pregnancy (after 28 weeks)
The examination in the third trimester is mainly to understand the development of the fetus and prenatal preparation. Routine prenatal check-ups should be carried out at this time, such as checking the birth position and cervix. At this time, it is also necessary to measure the pregnant woman\’s blood pressure and weight to determine the health status of the pregnant woman and the fetus.
In the third trimester of pregnancy, you should pay attention to rest to prevent excessive fatigue from affecting the growth and development of the fetus. At the same time, you should also pay attention to your diet and eat more foods that are beneficial to fetal development such as protein, vitamins, calcium and iron. In addition, prenatal care needs to be arranged and delivery supplies ready.
4. Notes
When performing fetal heart and fetus testing, pregnant women need to pay attention to the following points:
1. Fetuses have different examination times and methods at different stages, so you must follow the doctor’s instructions for examination;
2. Drink plenty of water before the examination to facilitate the doctor\’s ultrasound examination;
3. The affected area should be kept clean before examination to avoid cross-infection;
4. During the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, self-check fetal movements. If abnormal fetal movements are found, seek medical attention promptly.
Summary
Fetal heart rate and fetal bud test is a very important test during pregnancy, and each stage has its key points and precautions. While pregnant women are undergoing examinations, they also need to increase their nutritional intake and avoid overexertion to ensure the health of their fetuses. At the same time, if you have uncomfortable symptoms or find abnormalities, you should seek medical treatment in time to ensure your health during pregnancy.
