Necessary examinations in the second month of pregnancy.

The beginning of the second month of pregnancy is the most common period of registration in the antenatal clinic. Immediately after this, the doctor (obstetrician-gynecologist) prescribes a complete examination, which includes a whole list of laboratory and instrumental studies:

• ultrasound;

• general analysis of urine and blood;

• blood chemistry;

• determination of the group and Rh factor;

• testing for potentially dangerous infections for mother and fetus (hepatitis, HIV, syphilis, rubella, herpes, cytomegalovirus and toxoplasmosis);

• vaginal smear for microflora;

• measurement of blood pressure.


In addition to the gynecologist, the expectant mother will have to visit a therapist, an endocrinologist, an ophthalmologist, a dentist and an otorhinolaryngologist. If you do not have complaints of increasing bloody discharge and pain in the small pelvis, there are no other symptoms that cause significant discomfort (severe vomiting), then the first visit to the women's doctor should take place at 8-10 weeks.
