Many pregnant women want to monitor their pregnancy with ultrasound repeatedly. In addition, many mothers fear that ultrasound several times during pregnancy will affect the fetus. And where is the appropriate ultrasound time that pregnant women should be concerned about and not to be missed?
To date, there are no clinically significant studies on whether ultrasound has a negative impact on fetal health. However, it is not necessary for pregnant women to undergo an ultrasound scan and it is a financial waste for pregnant women.
Therefore, pregnant women should go for prenatal check-up and ultrasound according to the doctor's appointment, especially, it is not advisable to skip 3 golden times during ultrasound to detect early abnormalities in the fetus, to get advice from doctor and appropriate pregnancy management plan.
Dr. Tran Thi Kim Xuyen - Head of Obstetrics and Gynecology City International City Hospital for pregnant women
According to Dr Tran Thi Kim Xuyen - Head of Obstetrics and Gynecology City International Hospital, the 3 golden times for ultrasound are now at gestational age: “12-14 weeks (12 weeks), 21-24 weeks (22 weeks) ) and 28-32 weeks (32 weeks). The ultrasound process at different times will have different value in diagnosing fetal abnormalities while still in the womb. ”
At 12-14 weeks gestation, ultrasound will help early detection of major fetal defects such as central nervous system abnormalities (cranial fetus, extrasystole) or other abnormalities such as hernia navel, abdominal wall opening, some hand and foot malformations.
In addition, measuring the back of the neck at this time combined with the Double test screening is very important in screening for some common genetic disorder syndrome such as Down Syndrome, Edwards Syndrome , Patau's syndrome.
Ultrasound at the age of 21-24 weeks is an ultrasound that helps detect almost any abnormalities in the fetus, including congenital heart diseases.
An ultrasound at 28-32 weeks of pregnancy is the time to evaluate the development of the fetus in the uterus, and is also the time to investigate a number of other abnormalities in the fetus.
