After pregnancy, women need to undergo some relevant examinations. In order to understand the healthy development of the fetus, fetal echocardiography is crucial in the examination items. It can detect fetal heart rate and other conditions, and detect any symptoms as early as possible. So, under what circumstances should fetal echocardiography be performed?
Generally, fetal echocardiography is performed between 22-28 weeks of pregnancy, followed by a follow-up examination between 30-32 weeks. The effective time for fetal echocardiography is between 24-26 weeks of pregnancy. At this point, the fetal heart is also basically fully developed. The internal structure of the heart is also relatively clear, making it the best time for examination.
However, due to individual physical differences, the specific time for fetal echocardiogram examination still needs to be determined based on the development of the fetus, as well as the weight of the fetus and the ratio of amniotic fluid. It is recommended to listen to the doctor's opinions and suggestions and undergo the most effective examination at the best time.
Every examination done during pregnancy is considered for the health of the fetus. Performing fetal echocardiography is to reduce the occurrence of severe and complex fetal malformations during birth. For some fetuses with mild cardiac abnormalities, accurate diagnosis can be obtained before delivery, and effective measures and treatments will be taken.
