Normal people usually go for a physical examination once a year to know what their health is really like. Of course, after pregnancy, some routine checks must also be done, which is inevitable and an indispensable step. However, more blood is drawn than before. So why do pregnant women need to draw six tubes of blood?
Because many tests that need to be done after pregnancy are basically based on blood tests, usually six tubes of blood need to be drawn. A blood routine test is the most common and fundamental examination. When doing a blood routine test, it is necessary to draw a separate tube of blood to see if the pregnant woman has anemia.
In addition, it is important to check if the liver and kidney function of pregnant women is normal, as there may be some abnormal conditions in the liver and kidneys during pregnancy. If it is found that the liver and kidney function is not particularly normal, it can also have adverse effects on the fetus in the womb. After the examination results are released, it is found that the liver and kidney function of pregnant women is poor. Pregnant women can decide whether or not to have this child based on their own situation.
The extracted blood can also be used to detect Down syndrome, mainly to see if the child has intellectual developmental disorders. During pregnancy, some people will suffer from diabetes, so it is also necessary to draw blood when screening pregnancy diabetes. This is why pregnant women need to draw six tubes of blood during pregnancy screening.
