After becoming pregnant, women should start undergoing prenatal check ups, which include various types such as ultrasound, electrocardiogram, urine routine, blood routine, and so on. The timing of each examination is different, and the development of the fetus can be determined through each examination. The most commonly performed ultrasound for pregnant women is ultrasound. So is it useful to have ultrasound at 7 weeks of pregnancy?
Generally speaking, if there is no bleeding or abdominal pain at 7 weeks of pregnancy, there is no need for an ultrasound examination. If you have a history of miscarriage or have received infertility treatment before, the doctor will recommend the first ultrasound examination at 6-11 weeks of pregnancy to determine if the pregnancy is normal and exclude ectopic pregnancy. At this stage, ultrasound examination can also observe the condition of the uterine adnexa and check whether the fetus is developing normally.
During the first three months of pregnancy, pregnant women generally do not need to undergo B-ultrasound examination. They can wait until the 12th week of pregnancy when the hospital establishes a record before undergoing B-ultrasound examination to determine the fetal development through various examinations. If a pregnant woman experiences vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, etc. before 12 weeks, she can go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination.
Before undergoing an ultrasound examination, it is necessary to hold urine and have a certain amount of urine in the bladder to see clearly. Therefore, pregnant women should hold urine before the examination and drink a few more cups of warm water on the way to the hospital.
When doing an ultrasound examination, it is necessary to pull up the clothes and expose the stomach. For the convenience of inspection, it is recommended to wear loose clothes and pants, and it is best not to wear skirts.
