Preparation for pre-pregnancy examination items
Before pregnancy, expectant mothers need to undergo a series of examinations to ensure their health and lay the foundation for the health of their babies. The first examination that should be carried out is a general examination and a physical examination. The full body examination includes the measurement of body data such as height, weight, blood pressure, and heart rate, as well as the questioning and recording of disease history, surgical history, allergy history, etc. The physical examination includes examination of the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus and ovaries. In addition, simple blood tests and urine tests are also required to check for anemia, infection and other diseases.
Examination items in the first trimester
The first trimester refers to the 12 weeks before pregnancy, which is also a critical period for the development of the baby\’s organs and systems. At this stage, expectant mothers need to undergo serology tests to find out whether they have been vaccinated against rubella, cytomegalovirus, Toxoplasma gondii, etc. At the same time, Down syndrome screening, amniocentesis and other examinations are also required to rule out the risk of fetal abnormalities or chromosomal abnormalities. In addition, expectant mothers also need to undergo B-ultrasound examination to understand the development of the fetus and ensure the health of the fetus.
Check items in the second trimester
The second trimester refers to the 13th to 28th week of pregnancy. The growth and development of the fetus is accelerated during this period, which will also have a certain impact on the body of the expectant mother. At this stage, expectant mothers need to undergo a glucose tolerance test, as well as lymphocyte subpopulation examination and coagulation index examination. At the same time, B-ultrasound examination is also required to understand the growth and physical condition of the fetus to ensure that both the expectant mother and the fetus are healthy.
Check items in the third trimester
The third trimester refers to the 29th week of pregnancy to before delivery. At this time, the expectant mother\’s body has begun to show some abnormal symptoms, such as edema, weakened fetal movement, increased blood pressure, etc. Therefore, expectant mothers need fetal heart rate monitoring and virological examinations. At the same time, multiple B-ultrasound examinations are required to understand the fetus\’ mode of delivery, growth status, and fetal position, and amniocentesis is performed to understand the development of the fetus.
