What prenatal checkup should I do at 36 weeks?

At 36 weeks, it is almost time for delivery. At this time, pregnant women should be prepared for delivery, relax, walk more, and also have prenatal check-ups. At this time, blood pressure, weight, and the dilation of the uterus are checked to check whether a normal delivery is possible. If the pregnant woman is not sure about which prenatal checkups to do at 36 weeks, it is best to tell the doctor and let the doctor choose a prenatal checkup plan for her.

What tests should be done at 36 weeks of pregnancy

1. Prenatal examination items: The 9th prenatal examination will be conducted at the 36th week of pregnancy. Common routine check-ups this week include blood pressure, weight, uterine fundus height, abdominal circumference, fetal heart rate, fetal position, urine routine, fetal heart monitoring and obstetric examinations. These examinations can allow doctors to understand the basic condition of the expectant mother and fetus, as well as the physical conditions for delivery.

2. Key prenatal examination items: B-ultrasound: B-ultrasound is an important item in the entire pregnancy examination. B-ultrasound examination in the late pregnancy is of great significance for placental positioning and amniotic fluid measurement. If there is too little amniotic fluid, placental calcification, or the umbilical cord around the neck, it will have a great impact on the fetus, and B-ultrasound can detect it in time.

Precautions for 36-week antenatal checkup

1. The B-ultrasound during this prenatal checkup is used to assess the weight and developmental status of the fetus at that time, and to estimate the weight of the fetus when it is delivered at full term. Once the fetus is found to be underweight, the expectant mother should supplement more nutrients.

2. The next prenatal check-up will be next week, which is the 37th week of pregnancy. Expectant mothers should prepare in advance.

After the above description and explanation, do mothers understand that it is still necessary for pregnant women at 36 weeks of pregnancy to have regular prenatal check-ups. Are mothers who have reached 36 weeks of pregnancy looking forward to seeing their babies? Are they also a little nervous? In fact, there is no need to be too nervous. Stay relaxed and welcome the arrival of your baby with a happy mood! I wish you a happy life!
