What are the items in the pregnancy test during the third month of pregnancy?

When women are three months pregnant, there are many things to pay attention to. At this time, women should pay attention to choosing light food and avoid eating some complex foods. Eating complex foods at this time is of no help to the body and will cause fetal problems. What are the prenatal check-up items in the third month of pregnancy? At this time, there are also many items in the physical examination of women. The following is a detailed introduction.

Pregnancy check items for three months:

1. Measuring height: Measure only once during the entire pregnancy. Your doctor will use your height-to-weight ratio to estimate whether you are overweight or underweight, as well as your pelvic size.

2. Measure weight: This is a must-measure item in every pregnancy check-up. Indirect monitoring of fetal growth through the weight of the expectant mother. The average weight gain during pregnancy is about 12.5 kg, with an average weight gain of 0.5 kg per week in the late pregnancy. The reference value will be different for each person.

3. Measure blood pressure: This is a must-measure item during every pregnancy check-up. High blood pressure is one of the symptoms of preeclampsia, which will affect the development and growth of the fetus.

4. Ask about medical history: Ask the expectant mother and her family what diseases they have had, whether they have been exposed to harmful substances in the past six months, menstrual history, marital history, etc.

5. Listen to the fetal heartbeat: The fetal heartbeat can be heard during the 12th and 13th weeks of pregnancy. Hearing the fetal heartbeat indicates that the fetus in the abdomen is alive.

6. Measure uterine height and abdominal circumference: Uterine height and abdominal circumference should be measured at every prenatal check-up. A pregnancy curve can be drawn based on the uterine height to understand the intrauterine development of the fetus and whether it may induce fetal retardation or macrosomia.

7. Routine blood test: Check hemoglobin to determine whether the expectant mother is anemic. Check blood type to prevent neonatal hemolytic disease. If the husband has type A, B or AB blood and the pregnant woman has type O blood, the baby may be incompatible with ABO blood type.

8. Routine urine test: Check whether there is protein or sugar in the urine, indicating the presence of diseases such as gestational hypertension.

9. Liver and kidney function test: Check whether the pregnant mother has hepatitis, nephritis, etc. During pregnancy, the burden on the liver and kidneys is increased. If the liver and kidney functions are abnormal, pregnancy will make the original disease worse.

10. Test for HIV antibodies: Check whether the pregnant mother is infected with HIV. Mother-to-child transmission is one of the main routes of HIV transmission.

11. Test alpha-fetoprotein: screen for neurological diseases, such as anencephaly and spina bifida. Normal value: <20.

12. Check six items of hepatitis B: Check whether the pregnant mother is infected with hepatitis B virus. If you are already infected, you will need to be transferred to a specialized infectious disease hospital for delivery.

13. Check for hepatitis C virus: Check whether the expectant mother is infected with the hepatitis C virus. If infected, she should be transferred to a specialized infectious disease hospital for delivery.

14. Check for viral infection: If a pregnant mother is infected with a virus before 4 months of pregnancy, the fetus may have congenital malformations or even miscarriage.

15. Electrocardiogram: To rule out heart disease and to confirm whether the expectant mother can withstand childbirth. If the electrocardiogram is abnormal, further ultrasound examination can be performed.

After understanding the prenatal check-up items during the three months of pregnancy, women should pay attention to actively cooperate with these examinations when they are pregnant. If they feel unwell during the examination, they should tell the doctor immediately to avoid aggravating their own problems and affecting the fetus.
