At 36 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is already full-term, and it won't be long before it can come into this world. Expectant mothers will also become very nervous and want to see their babies as soon as possible. While feeling happy, we cannot forget to do a pregnancy test. So what is the secretion test for pregnant women at 36 weeks?
At 36 weeks, check for the presence of Streptococcus pyogenes and Group B Streptococcus, also known as GBS, in the secretions. If a pregnant woman is infected with GBS, the newborn may be infected with GBS through amniotic fluid or birth canal at birth. Although the risk of GBS infection in newborns is low, once infected, it may pose a significant threat to infants with immature immunity. For the safety and peace of mind of the baby, GBS screening is the best choice in late pregnancy. This type of inspection is simple, risk-free, and there is no need to worry.
Before undergoing secretion testing, women must take corresponding preparation measures and keep their genital area clean in order to obtain the most accurate test results. During the examination, it is important to follow the doctor's instructions, follow the normal sampling process, and avoid any resistance that may affect the normal examination results.
At 36 weeks of pregnancy, in addition to testing secretions, B-ultrasound examination is also necessary, which is of great significance for placental localization and amniotic fluid measurement. If there is oligohydramnios, placental calcification, or fetal umbilical cord entanglement around the neck, which has a significant impact on the fetus, ultrasound can detect it in a timely manner, so that reasonable responses can be made when abnormalities are detected.
