During pregnancy, many mothers experience a lot of physical and psychological pressure. Many mothers also worry about whether their babies will grow up healthily in their stomachs. Speaking of which, it is important to understand the importance of prenatal check ups, such as NT tests. So, what if the pregnancy hasn't passed 12 weeks?
If you have not passed the 12th week of pregnancy, you must not neglect your prenatal check ups afterwards. You must follow the doctor's guidance for prenatal check ups, and do not be nervous. You can pay more attention to rest, do not overwork, and have a light diet. Do not eat stimulating or cold foods. You can drink more hot water. In daily life, you should also pay attention to your schedule, be regular, do not stay up late, develop regular bowel habits, and exercise moderately to promote digestion, which can improve your immune system. Go to the hospital for prenatal check ups regularly.
NT refers to the thickness of the nuchal translucency of the fetus, and the examination time for NT is between 11-13 weeks of pregnancy plus 6 days. Based on the examination, early screening for Trisomy 21 syndrome can be conducted. If the measured NT value is greater than 3mm, there is a high suspicion of Down syndrome.
At 12 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is approximately 5 centimeters in size. Although it is very small, the biparietal diameter of the fetus can still be measured. At the same time, the external reproductive organs of the fetus have already developed preliminarily, and it should be possible to identify boys and girls through NT examination. However, in China, it is illegal to conduct infant identification, which can cause a gender imbalance. It is best not to do so.
