After pregnancy, doctors recommend regular prenatal check ups to monitor fetal development. The items that need to be checked vary in different months, but the purpose is to observe whether there are any abnormalities in fetal development. Usually, a check-up is done at 16 weeks of pregnancy, so is it not necessary to do an ultrasound during the 16th week prenatal examination?
Firstly, it is necessary to undergo a B-ultrasound examination at 16 weeks of pregnancy. This month's examination mainly focuses on the type of chorion, which can only be identified through B-ultrasound examination. It cannot be determined by hand touch alone. Therefore, doctors recommend coming to the hospital for a prenatal examination at 16 weeks of pregnancy, along with B-ultrasound examination.
Secondly, during the long pregnancy, a lot of examinations need to be done. At 11-16 weeks, B-ultrasound is used to check the classification of the chorion. To determine this, only B-ultrasound can make a clear judgment, so B-ultrasound is a very necessary means. Moreover, the fetus has already developed and formed this month, and the observation is more comprehensive.
Don't misunderstand about B-ultrasound. It's not as people say that B-ultrasound has radiation that is harmful to the fetus. On the contrary, B-ultrasound is a necessary examination for observing fetal development during pregnancy and ensuring fetal health. And it's not done every month, doctors will choose the appropriate month for examination according to the situation, so everyone doesn't have to worry at all, just cooperate with the doctor's examination.
