After becoming pregnant, women hope that their fetus can grow healthily. However, many fetuses may exhibit some abnormalities, which can be exposed through prenatal screening. So pregnant women must undergo prenatal screening during pregnancy to prevent the birth of babies with defects. So, what are the main inspection items for production screening?
1. Blood sugar: After pregnancy, the hormone will change greatly, which will increase the risk of diabetes. High blood sugar during pregnancy can cause the fetus to become too large, leading to difficult labor. Diabetes is also easy to cause stillbirth and malformation, so it is necessary to detect the blood sugar of pregnant women. If detected early, it can be controlled early and reduce the harm of diseases to the fetus.
2. Tang screening: After pregnancy, Tang screening is a necessary procedure. The likelihood of a fetus developing Down syndrome can be determined through a sugar screening. If the Down screening results indicate a high risk, the pregnant woman may also need to undergo amniocentesis to determine if the fetus is indeed Down syndrome. Pregnant women over 35 years old belong to the high-risk group and can directly undergo amniocentesis examination.
3. B-ultrasound: Pregnant women need to undergo B-ultrasound examination several times. By using ultrasound, it is possible to directly observe the fetus, such as the body, head, and placenta. Many fetal abnormalities can be detected through ultrasound, so ultrasound is an indispensable item for prenatal screening.
