All maternity tests are mandatory for pregnancy, except for a few self-funded genetic testing programs.
There are different items to be done at each maternity checkup, and they are usually mandatory, such as ultrasound, blood and urine tests, blood pressure, and various types of detoxification tests.
When you are newly pregnant, a blood hCG test is needed to determine pregnancy. After 6 weeks of pregnancy, an ultrasound can be performed to see the germ and primordial heart tube pulsation to determine early pregnancy survival in the uterus. After that, a maternal health booklet can be established and the pregnant woman undergoes routine checkups such as liver and kidney function, blood glucose, blood test, urine test, infectious disease checkups, blood pressure and weight.
At 11-13+6 weeks of gestation, a fetal nuchal translucency examination can be performed. Non-invasive DNA examination is performed at 12-22+6 weeks of pregnancy, and 3D or 4D examination is performed at 20-24 weeks of pregnancy, all of which can be performed to check for fetal malformations. A glucose tolerance test is needed at 25-28 weeks of pregnancy to rule out gestational diabetes.
An electronic fetal heart monitoring test is needed after 34 weeks of pregnancy to clarify the intrauterine condition of the fetus. Fetal ultrasound, blood and urine tests are also reviewed several times during pregnancy depending on the condition of the mother.
