During the second period of pregnancy, a woman has the opportunity to observe her baby, check its condition and feel the movement of the fetus. At week 16, you can do an ultrasound, which will present a clear picture and help identify developmental features.
Also, the expectant mother is prescribed the following tests:
• General blood and urine analysis.
• Rh test (according to doctor's indications).
• HIV test.
• Tests for syphilis.
• Doppler.
If deficiencies are identified, placental insufficiency is prevented. The height of the uterine fundus is also measured.
A woman, no matter how old she is or what kind of pregnancy she is, should be examined at least once every 2 weeks. This regularity is optimal and allows the doctor to fully control the condition of the pregnant woman.
