After antenatal care, how many times and how often do I need to see a doctor?

• Most mothers will need to have an average of 10-12 prenatal checkups throughout their pregnancy. Mothers may need to see an obstetrician more often if complications arise during pregnancy. The obstetrician will determine the appropriate time frame based on the risks or complications that occur.
• Normally, mothers will visit an obstetrician according to their gestational age, as follows:
  • Pregnancy less than 28 weeks, check pregnancy every 4 weeks.
  • Pregnancy between 28-36 weeks, check pregnancy every 2 weeks.
  • Pregnancy age: more than 36 weeks, check pregnancy every week until delivery.

When should I have my first pregnancy ultrasound?

• It is usually recommended that mothers เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย start an ultrasound to assess pregnancy 6-8 weeks after the first day of their last menstrual period to assess as follows:
  • The position of the pregnancy is in the uterus.
  • Number of fetuses, singleton or twins
  • Fetal heartbeat
  • Size of the baby
  • Correct gestational age and expected delivery date
  • Uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes to look for tumors or cysts.
• In some cases, your obstetrician may recommend an ultrasound earlier than the standard time frame if you are experiencing unusual symptoms, such as severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, or a history of ectopic pregnancy.

Early Pregnancy: 

During the first trimester, it is recommend to have frequent visits to your gynaecologist. Generally, you will have monthly check-ups until around week 28 of pregnancy. These early visits are essential for establishing a baseline, confirming the pregnancy, assessing your overall health, and identifying any potential risks or complications.  

Second Trimester: 

Once you enter the second trimester. Which begins around week 13, your visits may become less frequent. Typically, you will have check-ups every 4-6 weeks during this stage. During these visits, your gynaecologist will monitor the growth and development of your baby, assess your overall health, and discuss any concerns or questions you may have.

Third Trimester 

As you approach the final weeks of pregnancy, the frequency of your visits will increase again. From around week 36 until delivery, you will likely have check-ups every 2-3 weeks. During these appointments, your gynaecologist will closely monitor your baby’s position, assess your cervix for any signs of impending labor, and ensure that you and your baby are healthy and ready for delivery.
