Women need to undergo many examinations from pregnancy to childbirth, which is commonly known as prenatal check ups. Through prenatal check ups, the development of the fetus can be clearly observed, and if any abnormal situations occur, timely response measures can be taken. What tests should be done at 31 weeks of pregnancy?
At 31 weeks of pregnancy, it is already the late stage of pregnancy, and at this time, a prenatal check-up should be done every two weeks. Routine items in late pregnancy include measuring weight, blood pressure, ultrasound, etc. Generally, in the late stage of pregnancy, expectant mothers need to undergo two B-ultrasound examinations to monitor amniotic fluid volume, determine if the fetal position is correct, and observe placental maturity and any abnormalities.
There are not many examination items that women need to do at 31 weeks of pregnancy, but they still need to go to the hospital for examination on time. If pregnant women experience vaginal discharge before 38 weeks, they should be alert as it may be due to amniotic membrane rupture and amniotic fluid leakage, also known as water rupture. If this situation occurs, one should immediately go to the hospital for delivery. If the fetus lacks the protection of amniotic fluid, it may be infected, and in severe cases, it may even lead to hypoxia and death.
In the late stages of pregnancy, it is not only important to have regular prenatal check ups, but also to constantly monitor physical changes. At this stage, fetal movement is already quite obvious. It is necessary to count the number of fetal movements every day. If there are any abnormalities in fetal movement, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination. In late pregnancy, it is important to maintain a good mood and avoid strenuous exercise. At the same time, one should also control their diet and not let their weight gain too quickly.
