Pregnancy to delivery checkups and corresponding time (content for singleton)

  If a fertile woman has more than a normal menstrual cycle in the future, she can perform a urine pregnancy test (buy pregnancy test paper from a pharmacy), if two red lines indicate a high probability of pregnancy.  If there is no abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding and a menstrual cycle of 30 days, an ultrasound can be performed around 50 days after menopause to confirm the diagnosis of intrauterine pregnancy and to see the primitive heartbeat. If intrauterine pregnancy is not seen, blood HCG and progesterone will be drawn, and depending on the case, blood HCG and progesterone will be tested and the ultrasound will be repeated until the original heartbeat is seen (if the pregnancy is terminated in case of indolent abortion).  To confirm the diagnosis of intrauterine pregnancy, blood pressure will be taken and blood tests such as routine blood tests, blood biochemistry, hepatitis antigen antibody, syphilis antibody, HIV antibody, thyroid function, (blood TORCH, blood type, if not done just before pregnancy); routine urine tests, ECG.  NT test (including fetal size) at 11-14 weeks of menopause (advance appointment is required, preferably when intrauterine pregnancy is confirmed).  In the third month of menopause, a perinatal health book will be opened at the local community hospital, and blood tests, routine urine tests, and ECG tests will be performed accordingly.  Ultrasound + Down’s syndrome screening at 15-20 weeks of menopause (important test, free of charge for those who have a card at the community hospital, and TORCH seems to be free of charge) (routine blood tests, biochemistry and urine tests can be repeated at the same time) (please consult amniocentesis or non-invasive DNA at 35 weeks of age and above).  3-D ultrasound examination at 22-26 weeks of menopause (appointment is needed in advance, preferably when intrauterine pregnancy is confirmed).  Delivery hospital visit number at 23-24 weeks of menopause to confirm delivery at the hospital (blood draw, OGTT test, urine routine, ECG test), 2 weeks of labor and delivery.  Ultrasound examination is performed at 30-32 weeks of menopause to understand the fetal position and size of the baby.  At 32-34 weeks of menopause, blood and urine tests and ECG will be taken again (the period of maximum heart burden).  Fetal heart monitoring starts at 35-36 weeks after menopause (with the establishment of neonatal ward, some hospitals may advance the time of fetal heart monitoring such as 34 weeks after menopause, 35 weeks), but fetal movement decreases significantly in the second trimester and fetal heart monitoring is needed. If the fetal movement is normal, check once a week.  Ultrasound examination will be performed around 37-38 weeks of menopause.  Ultrasound examination will be performed around 40 weeks of menopause (to assess the fetal condition for delivery).  (The specific situation may vary from hospital to hospital, please refer to your doctor’s opinion; if there is any abnormality in the examination, please make sure to listen to the doctor’s opinion carefully).
