For every family and every parent, nurturing a new life is a sacred and happy thing, especially for new parents, while being excited and longing, what they most hope is that the baby can be born healthy.
When it comes to the health of the baby, prenatal check-up during pregnancy is essential.
Recently, a prospective father in Yantai, Shandong shared the embarrassing moments of his wife during the prenatal examination. On that day, Mr. Xue accompanied his wife, who was 6 months pregnant, to the hospital for prenatal examination. He had a four-dimensional color ultrasound as planned, but the naughty baby refused to cooperate in his stomach. His wife was invited by the doctor four times in a row because of the wrong position.
In desperation, my wife could only lie on the chair in the hospital hall to adjust her position. Although it was for the sake of smooth examination, doing such actions in public places still made my wife feel very socially dead, so she could only let Mr. Xue stand beside her to help block it.
However, Mr. Xue said that in the end, the child's position still did not adjust, he only showed his face, and he had to make an appointment to do a re-check.
After reading Mr. Xue’s sharing, many mothers expressed their empathy: “It was the same when I went to B ultrasound before. I kept adjusting, lying on my side, and went in to check again and again, but it didn’t work again and again. It was only taken several hours before I tested it. Every mother worked very hard.” “This situation is actually quite common in the door of the obstetrics ultrasound room, but I still feel embarrassed in public places.”
Speaking of B-ultrasound, it can be said that the bedroom runs through the entire pregnancy test. It not only allows you to see the impact of the baby directly through the pregnant mother's belly, but also helps the doctor monitor the baby's development. It is a real good thing.
However, many novice mothers may also have doubts, how many B-ultrasounds should be done during pregnancy? Will doing so much affect your baby? Today we will talk about B-ultrasound.
1. How many B-ultrasounds are needed during pregnancy?
According to the usual situation, the mother needs to undergo about 5 ultrasound examinations throughout the pregnancy.
But this is not absolute. If you encounter some special situations, such as growth restriction, malformation, abnormal placenta, excessive amniotic fluid in , or too little, expectant mothers should conduct B-ultrasound examination according to the doctor's arrangement.
1, 6-10 weeks of pregnancy
In this stage, the purpose of B-ultrasound examination is mainly to determine the position and number of gestational sacs, determine whether there is germ , fetal heartbeat, and measure the length of the germ, estimate the gestational week size, etc.
2, 11-13 weeks of pregnancy
At this time, through B-ultrasound examination, doctors can measure the length of the fetus' head and hips, thereby helping to correct the time of the due date and measuring the NT value to evaluate whether the fetus has a risk of chromosomal abnormalities.
3, 18-24 weeks of pregnancy
At this stage, doctors need to undergo a "big elimination" examination, which can be said to be the most important examination during the entire pregnancy. Doctors observe the general structure of the fetus' head, limbs and organs to check for six serious fatal deformities. They also need to screen and judge common structural deformities of the fetus' face, , nervous system, , urinary system, digestive system and other systems.
4, 28-32 weeks of pregnancy
When the fetus is still young, some deformities may not be so obvious. It is necessary to wait until the fetus develops to a certain extent before it will be identified. This examination is mainly to supplement the deformity, and at the same time help doctors understand the growth and development of the fetus, so as to determine whether the fetus has growth restriction, amniotic fluid and umbilical cord abnormalities.
5, 36-38 weeks of pregnancy
At this stage, the fetal baby is ready to be born. Therefore, this examination mainly evaluates the size, fetal position and amniotic fluid placenta, and prepares for the delivery of expectant mothers.
2. Will B-ultrasound examination have adverse effects on the fetus?
Many mothers may have a misunderstanding, thinking that B-ultrasound, like X-ray , CT, etc., may have radiation.But in fact, ultrasound does not produce radiation. It is just a high-frequency sound wave. Its principle is a map formed based on the reflection of sound waves on objects in different tissues.
So far, no research has confirmed that ultrasound examinations will have adverse effects on the fetus. In addition, the doctors responsible for the examination will also follow the principle of "minimum dose", that is, while ensuring the effectiveness of the examination, try to complete the examination with the smallest dose, so pregnant mothers do not have to worry too much.
3. Do you need to undergo B-ultrasound examination every pregnancy test?
Although ultrasound examination can be said to be one of the essential and important items in pregnancy prenatal examinations, it has a great effect. Doctors can use ultrasound examinations to help judge the growth and development of the fetus, whether the fetus is safe, whether the development is normal, whether there are deformities, etc., which plays an important role in doctors evaluating the health of the fetus and the mother's uterus. But it does not mean that every pregnancy test must be done. The specific one must follow the doctor's advice. The doctor will determine it according to the specific circumstances of the expectant mother.
