Pre-pregnancy health examination

Pre-pregnancy physical examination is a necessary examination before pregnancy, which can help expectant mothers understand their physical condition, find potential health problems in time, and make full preparations for pregnancy and pregnancy preparation. So, what items does the pre-pregnancy physical examination include?

History of disease

In addition to your existing diseases, you should also let the doctor know about any genetic problems in your family (such as Down syndrome or cystic fibrosis). At the same time, you should also tell the doctor about the contraceptive method you are using, whether you have ovulation or menstrual problems, and whether you have a history of abortion.

Cervical anti-cancer smear examination

When was the last time you had a cervical smear? If you want to have a baby next year, you need to do it again. Doctors usually don't give you a smear during pregnancy or within 6 months after the baby is born.

urinalysis

If you are at risk of urinary tract infection, the doctor may ask you to have a urine test. Urinary tract infection is related to abortion, low birth weight and premature delivery.

blood test

A blood test is to check whether you have anemia or other abnormal conditions. According to your family history, the doctor may also check whether you have sickle cell anemia and thalassemia. Thalassemia is more common in southern areas such as Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian than in the north.
