Do you know that there is something that couples planning to get pregnant absolutely must check?
Prenatal examination is a test conducted before or in the early stages of pregnancy to ensure a healthy pregnancy and childbirth. It is a process of checking the health status of the couple and checking for diseases that may affect the fetus in advance.
In particular, you can prepare for a healthy pregnancy by checking various factors such as genetic factors, infectious diseases, and hormonal abnormalities. In my case, I received a prenatal examination before pregnancy while planning my first child. I was usually confident in my health, but when I actually took the test, there were more things to check than I thought. In particular, I was able to check for the presence of infectious disease antibodies and nutritional status, so I was able to prepare for pregnancy with more peace of mind after the test.
2. Health Center Prenatal Examination
You can receive a prenatal examination at a hospital, but you can also receive it at a nearby health center without any financial burden. Public health centers provide free or low-cost prenatal checkups for newlyweds and women planning to get pregnant! The items tested may vary by region, but please note that the following items are generally included! 드보라의 블로그
1. Blood type test
After checking the blood type and Rh factor, the risk of miscarriage, premature birth, and stillbirth due to hemolysis is reduced.
2. Rubella test
If infected with rubella in the early stages of pregnancy, it can cause congenital malformations in the fetus, so check for rubella.
3. Hepatitis B test
Hepatitis B can be vertically transmitted to the fetus, so check in advance.
4. Sexually transmitted disease test
Check for sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and AIDS.
5. Cervical cancer test
Check for cervical cancer.
I had a basic test at the public health center, and then went to an obstetrician/gynecologist for additional tests!
3. Prenatal examination for men at public health centers
For a healthy pregnancy, men as well as women need to undergo prenatal examinations. In particular, it is important to check the health of sperm, genetic diseases, and infectious diseases. Public health centers sometimes support basic items for men, and there are usually the following types!
Blood test (blood type, liver function, kidney function test)
STD test (syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, etc.)
Semen test (sperm count and motility test, referral to an obstetrician/gynecologist if necessary)
I received prenatal examinations with my husband, and at first, my husband thought, “Do I really need to receive it?” However, after learning that men’s health is also important in the process of preparing for pregnancy, he actively participated~
As a result, I was able to thoroughly prepare for a healthy baby, and I realized once again that it is a process that two people do together~
If you are also planning to get pregnant, why don’t you receive prenatal examinations together as a couple?
