Tests and ultrasound in the second trimester of pregnancy.

Visit your gynecologist once every 3 weeks, after passing a general urine test. Measuring your weight, waist circumference, fundal height, and blood pressure helps your gynecologist assess your health.

An important examination of this trimester is the second prenatal screening. It includes a thorough, detailed ultrasound and, in case of doubtful results, a blood test for hCG, AFP and estriol. The results will help identify pathologies in the structure of the internal organs of the fetus and the risks of developing chromosomal disorders.
