Every woman who wants to give birth to a healthy baby must definitely undergo a combined examination. Having learned that conception has occurred, the expectant mother can undergo a preliminary study transabdominally, and then transvaginally as prescribed by the doctor (after 10-15 days of delay). If no deviations and threats to the health of the mother are observed, a visit to the ultrasound doctor is planned later.
Together with the ultrasound procedure at 11-13 weeks, a biochemical screening is done, which shows the possible pathologies of the unborn child. With the help of a double examination at the initial stages, it is possible to determine Down's disease and, at the request of the parents, interrupt gestation, if such a diagnosis occurs. Every expectant mother wants and must be sure that her unborn baby is developing in accordance with the norms. To do this, you need to track the intrauterine development of the fetus.
