1. Prenatal examination: Regular prenatal examination is the key to ensure the health of the fetus. These tests include blood test, urine test and ultrasonic examination. Through these tests, doctors can evaluate the growth of the fetus, whether the organ development is normal and whether there are potential problems.
2. Ultrasonic examination: Ultrasonic examination is one of the most commonly used methods to evaluate fetal health. It can provide detailed images to help doctors check the organ structure, heart function and limb development of the fetus. In addition, ultrasound can also detect the sex of the fetus and determine the expected date of delivery.
3. Amniocentesis: Amniocentesis is a method to assess fetal health by extracting amniotic fluid. This kind of examination is usually used to detect chromosomal abnormalities, genetic diseases and neural tube defects. However, amniocentesis is a risky examination, and it is recommended only under certain circumstances.
4. Fetal movement observation: Fetal movement is an important indicator of fetal health. Usually, pregnant women will begin to feel fetal movement around 20 weeks of pregnancy. If fetal movement is found to be reduced or stopped, you should consult a doctor in time.
5. Regular check-up: In addition to the above specific check-up, regular check-up is also an important link to ensure the health of the fetus. Doctors will listen to the heartbeat of the fetus through a stethoscope and measure the size of the uterus and blood pressure to assess the health of the fetus.
It should be noted that the above methods and indicators are only part of the assessment of fetal health, and the specific judgment needs to be combined with personal circumstances and professional opinions of doctors. If you have any concerns or questions about fetal health, it is recommended to consult a professional obstetrician in time.
