How often should I do B-ultrasound?

In order to prevent the baby from developing some diseases in the mother's belly and to detect the baby's existing diseases in time, pregnant women should go to the hospital regularly for prenatal check-ups. B-ultrasound is a medical examination technology that is widely used in pregnant women because it mainly uses the principle of ultrasound and can accurately reflect the condition of the baby in the woman's uterus. For women with normal pregnancy, how often is it most appropriate to do B-ultrasound?

How often should B-ultrasound be performed?

1. If you want to have a prenatal check-up during pregnancy, it is generally better to do it once a month. After 34 weeks of pregnancy, you can do it once every half a month.

2. Normally, B-ultrasound should be performed once every three months or six months. If the fetus is normal, it is recommended not to do B-ultrasound frequently.

3. B-ultrasound is not an X-ray, so it will not have any effect on the fetus. It should be done when the condition requires it, and there is no specified interval. Generally speaking, without special circumstances, a functional pregnancy is determined and the gestational age is verified around 6 or 7 weeks of pregnancy, the gestational age is verified again and the fetal NT value is measured during 11-13 weeks of pregnancy, a 3D color ultrasound is performed during 20-28 weeks of pregnancy, and once more in the late pregnancy. It depends on the situation and cannot be generalized.

Things to note before B-ultrasound examination

1. Don’t do an ultrasound on an empty stomach. Especially in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, if the baby is hungry, he or she will not cooperate. During the B-ultrasound examination, some data cannot be seen clearly or measured, or the measured data is inaccurate.

2. When going to the hospital for examination, it is best to wear loose clothes and shoes that are easy to put on and take off. This can save time and also help the pregnant mother relax her nervous mood. During the examination, you should try to relax and cooperate with the doctor. If you are too nervous during the examination, it may affect the effectiveness of the examination.

3. Hold your urine in advance. When doing an ultrasound in the early stages of pregnancy, a certain amount of urine needs to accumulate in the bladder in order to see clearly, so it is recommended that pregnant mothers hold their urine in advance. If you need to do an ultrasound examination in the early stages of pregnancy due to special circumstances, such as abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, etc., then drink 4-6 cups of boiled water at home in advance to save time going to the hospital for examination. It is not necessary during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

The above is all the information about "What is the shortest interval between B-ultrasounds?" Expectant mothers do not need to undergo frequent ultrasound examinations during pregnancy because they are too worried about the baby's condition. Just maintain a regular schedule and a good mood, and follow the doctor's advice, and the baby will be born healthy and smoothly.
