Everyone gets up early for every physical examination. Arrive at the hospital at 8 o\’clock, queue for half an hour for registration, two hours for payment, and half an hour for payment. After the inspection, I was exhausted. Prenatal check-ups are too tiring, and many pregnant women say they are afraid to go to the hospital for prenatal check-ups. But I didn\’t have a prenatal check-up, and I was worried about the baby\’s development and felt uneasy. The editor has compiled a prenatal checkup guide for you, expectant parents, hurry up and collect it!
Time-saving strategies for prenatal check-ups that pregnant mothers must know
1. Choose a community hospital
Avoid tertiary hospitals. The tertiary hospitals mentioned here are mostly large general hospitals. The advantage of these hospitals is that they have complete obstetrics departments and high technical levels in each department, giving expectant mothers a greater sense of authority. However, these hospitals tend to be the most crowded, so be prepared to sleep in the hallways at all times if you choose to give birth here.
suggestion:
If the expectant mother has no high-risk pregnancy factors and feels that all physical indicators are normal, she can just go to the hospital for a routine check-up. In fact, there is no need to go to an overcrowded general hospital. Just go to the community maternal and child hospital near your home. Although the facilities of maternal and child hospitals in the community may not be as good as those of large general hospitals, they focus on obstetrics and gynecology, which can also give expectant mothers peace of mind. The most important thing is that the number of people will be much smaller than that of a large general hospital, and the time for prenatal care will be greatly shortened.
2. Online appointment registration
Many expectant mothers know that many hospitals implement online appointment registration. If you are optimistic about the date, you can line up the night before. Of course, online reservations are not completely safe. It is best to arrive at the hospital 15 minutes before your appointment time. In that case, when you arrive at the hospital, give the nurse your book and absolutely ask her to keep your \”appointment\” for you.
remind:
However, expectant mothers should be aware that there may be network \”traffic jams\” when making online appointments. Especially if you want to register with a specialist, it is best to register in one or two days and be prepared in advance.
3. Ask the doctor to give you an appointment number for your next prenatal check-up.
After the prenatal check-up, ask your obstetrician to arrange the time for your next prenatal check-up and ask him to give you an appointment number, so that you can save the time of queuing up for registration next time. This method is indeed more trouble-free, at least you don’t have to worry about not getting the expert account you like. Applicable to expectant mothers who have had prenatal check-ups in designated hospitals.
remind:
We need to remind everyone that you should not think that you can sleep at noon until you have an appointment number and go to the hospital. The appointment number is just to ensure you can be connected to your obstetrician\’s number. Of course, the later you arrive at the hospital, the more people will be waiting. The longer it takes. The time spent waiting for prenatal check-up is definitely not shorter than the time spent queuing up for registration.
4. Ask your husband to accompany you for examination
Not to mention asking your husband to accompany you to the prenatal check-up.There are many benefits. At least when you are tired of waiting in line, you can chat for a while. The most important thing is that you can ask your husband to queue up and pay for you, saving time. It would be more convenient if my husband had a car to pick me up, so I wouldn’t have to take the bus or subway to go to the hospital.
remind:
If the expectant father is driving the expectant mother to the hospital for a check-up, emergency parking spaces should also be considered. Therefore, the editor\’s suggestion is that expectant mothers should get off the car first and queue up, and let their husbands slowly find a parking space. This can also save ten minutes.
5. Go to the hospital in your free time in the afternoon
Expectant mothers who have experienced obstetric examinations all know that the amount of prenatal examinations in the morning is almost twice that in the afternoon, so expectant mothers may wish to eat well at noon and sleep well before going to the hospital for prenatal examinations.
remind:
If you choose to have an afternoon prenatal check-up, it is best to ask the obstetrician in advance whether the clinic will be held in the afternoon, and ask the doctor what tests may be required for the next prenatal check-up, whether to draw blood, etc. Hungry. If you need to check on an empty stomach, you can only come in the morning. During pregnancy, only three prenatal tests require fasting blood draws, namely:
15-18 weeks: The first formal physical examination, including liver and kidney function tests, Tang screening, etc.
24-28 weeks: Blood glucose screening requires fasting blood.
36-37 weeks: Check liver and kidney function, fasting blood is required.
6. Prepare your next checklist
After each prenatal check-up, show the test results to the doctor. Don’t forget to write a prescription together at the next prenatal check-up. It is absolutely efficient. Next time you come, you only need to pay first (you can also choose to pay this time and keep the receipt), and then inspect the goods, saving you the time of queuing up to register.
remind:
It is best to meet the following conditions for your next prenatal check-up:
1. Please remember the time of your next examination and arrive at the hospital on time;
2. Keep the file. Careless mothers-to-be, beware.
7. Do a good job of fetal monitoring in the third trimester of pregnancy, and eat and drink enough before the prenatal check-up.
I don’t know if expectant mothers who started fetal heart rate monitoring at 32 weeks of pregnancy have had such an experience. The baby in your belly is teasing you. During the fetal monitoring, he would either sleep or sit there meditating and ignore you. No matter how much you and the doctor coax him, he just won\’t move. When the poor expectant mother is waiting for no results, the doctor will ask you if you have eaten enough? Let’s eat first! I\’d better let you go out for a walk first…
Not to mention wasting time at this time, even expectant mothers who worry too much tend to get anxious. Therefore, according to obstetrics and gynecology experts, expectant mothers must eat and drink well before each fetal monitor.
What preparations need to be made before the first inspection?
1. Before the first examination, you need to know the health status of your immediate family members and loved ones.
If possible, he must check with you, especially for the first time. He should answer questions about previous health conditions and whether there is a family history of genetic diseases. At the same time, he can also consult and understand many pregnancy-related issues, and We will provide you with the best understanding and help throughout your pregnancy, while sharing the happiness that pregnancy brings.
2. The first examination should start from the time of diagnosis of early pregnancy.
Doctors usually perform a bimanual examination to determine whether the size of the uterus is appropriate for the gestational age. As a basis for predicting the expected date of delivery, it is especially important for people with irregular menstruation. Menstruation is regular, but the size of the uterus does not match the month of menopause. Further examination should be carried out to determine the cause and treatment should be given if necessary. At the same time, the doctor will measure your basic blood pressure, check your heart and lungs, measure your blood routine, urine routine and related examinations, and provide guidance on the time for the next examination. For those with a family history of genetic diseases or a history of childbearing, the doctor will recommend further examination. For those who should not continue their pregnancy, such as early pregnancy virus
In case of infection, exposure to toxic substances, or serious illness, the doctor may recommend that you terminate your pregnancy. For pregnant women who have abnormalities but can continue the pregnancy, monitoring during pregnancy will be strengthened to ensure the safety of mother and baby.
