Pregnancy check-up time and items When does pregnancy reaction usually start?

Usually, during pregnancy, mothers need to go to the hospital for regular prenatal checkups to ensure the health of the baby in their belly. In addition, there will be a series of pregnancy reactions in the early stages of pregnancy. So we need to understand the time and items for pregnancy checkups. When do pregnancy reactions usually begin?

Because the specific time of pregnancy of women is different, the examination items will be very different. For women who have stopped menstruating for about 35 days, it is necessary to check blood HCG and progesterone to confirm whether they are pregnant, and at the same time check the level of progesterone. At about 50 days of amenorrhea, you can go to the hospital for color Doppler ultrasound to confirm intrauterine pregnancy, and at the same time check the fetal heart rate and fetal buds. Generally, you can register for a comprehensive prenatal check-up at 11-13 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, there are many examination items, including routine blood tests, coagulation function, liver and kidney function, hepatitis B, syphilis, AIDS, etc., and it is also recommended to do NT and Down's screening. When you are about 16 weeks pregnant, you need to do a mid-term Down screening, and you need to do a four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound examination at 24 weeks of pregnancy. When you wait until 28 weeks, you need to do an OGTT test, and after 35 weeks of pregnancy, you need to do fetal heart monitoring every other week to see the safety of the fetus in the uterine cavity. Pregnancy examination is a particularly important thing, which is related to the health of the pregnant mother and the fetus. From pregnancy to delivery, pregnant women need to go to the hospital for about 13 checkups during pregnancy. There are several items that must be checked every time there is a prenatal checkup, such as: weight, blood pressure, abdominal circumference, uterine fundus height, fetal heart rate, blood routine, urine routine, etc. There are also some other items that are not often checked but are very necessary to check, such as: a major deformity screening should be done around 20 weeks of pregnancy, and a B-ultrasound should be done during this prenatal checkup; a Down syndrome screening is required at the 24th to 28th week of pregnancy. In addition, there are some other specific items to be checked. Only in this way can problems be discovered and solved in time.

Because each female friend's physique is different, the timing of early pregnancy reactions will also be different. Generally, early pregnancy reactions can begin to appear four or five weeks after menstruation stops, but for most people, they begin to appear around six weeks, with a peak around ten weeks. Generally, it is not until the third month of pregnancy, which is around 12 weeks after menstruation, that early pregnancy reactions will slowly subside. With the increase of human chorionic gonadotropin-hCG in the body of pregnant women, pregnant women will experience dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting in the morning, loss of appetite, aversion to oil, and preference for acidic foods. We call this early pregnancy reaction. The time when early pregnancy reactions appear and when they stop are closely related to hCG.

1. Keep a good mood and make it clear that these reactions are not illnesses. You can take measures to divert your attention, such as going to the movies with your husband, visiting friends, visiting parks, and viewing flowers and scenery to reduce pregnancy reactions. At the same time, insist on eating and remember that eating is for the healthy development of the child.

2. When you have early pregnancy reactions, you like to eat sour foods. You can eat some dried plums, dried oranges, etc. to increase your appetite. Cold foods are easier to accept and have less reactions. You can eat some cold dishes, or you can cool the hot dishes before serving them to pregnant women. You should constantly improve the variety of meals to increase your appetite.

3. Pay attention to rest more, keep the indoor environment clean and ventilated; do proper exercise, which can help us eliminate fatigue and increase our appetite; eat light food, be careful not to eat greasy food, which is more likely to cause morning sickness in women, and pay attention to the nutritional combination of diet. In this way, most women can get through this period smoothly.

4. Pay attention to the diet, such as eating less greasy and fishy food, focusing on light and tasty food, and eating small and frequent meals every day. Many first-time pregnant women feel nauseous or vomiting when they wake up in the morning, which is often due to an empty stomach. Before going to bed at night, you can put some of your favorite food at the bedside and put it in your mouth when you wake up in the morning, which will relieve the nausea.

1. Massage your eyes with a cool towel: When you start to vomit, the front and sides of your head hurt, and you may even feel like you can't open your eyes. Try to avoid reading and massage your eyes. Putting a cool towel on your head and eyes is also very effective.

2. Eat less irritating food: Morning is the time when expectant mothers are most likely to feel nauseous. Eat some biscuits, biscuits or candies before getting up.

3. Eat small and frequent meals as the principle: eat about every two to three hours, don’t eat too much each time, choose foods rich in carbohydrates (such as soda crackers) and protein, and try to eat less soupy foods.

4. Since the blood sugar level in the body is lower in the morning, it is easy to feel nauseous and vomit. Therefore, after getting up, you can eat something in bed (such as soda crackers) and then get out of bed.

5. If the pregnant woman is not averse to the taste of ginger, she can drink ginger soup to improve nausea and vomiting.

6. Drink more sweet and sour egg soup. Break 2 eggs in a bowl, stir with chopsticks, add 30 grams of sugar and 100 grams of rice vinegar and mix well. Boil water over high heat, pour in the egg mixture, and boil. It is especially suitable for pregnant women who have severe vomiting during pregnancy.
