After pregnancy, it is necessary to undergo a check-up, but it can only be done after three months. Babies under three months old are still small cells, and it is very unfavorable for them to undergo examinations at this time. Therefore, it usually takes three months to go to the hospital for an ultrasound. When should fetal echocardiography be performed?
During prenatal check ups, a cardiac ultrasound is a very necessary examination because mothers are very concerned about their children's health. Therefore, it is still necessary to have a cardiac ultrasound. Generally speaking, between 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy, you can go to the hospital for a cardiac ultrasound, which will provide more accurate results.
During this period, the child's development is already very good, and when doing a cardiac ultrasound, the condition of the child's heart can be more clearly understood through the image. It's not possible to do it too early or too late, so it's important to seize the best opportunity. If done too early, the fetus will be too small and the heart will not fully develop, so the diagnosis may not be very accurate.
If you go for a cardiac ultrasound after this time, it will also affect the accuracy of the detection. Because during the later stages of pregnancy, the amount of amniotic fluid in the mother's body is constantly decreasing. In addition, the size of the fetus is increasing, and it is difficult to accurately locate the heart part in the belly, which is not conducive to examination.
