You will be scheduled for a detailed ultrasound scan during this period to ensure that your baby is developing well with no major physical defects. However, some defects and abnormalities can be unnoticeable during the ultrasound scan. It is advisable to conduct these scans and tests to be able to early detect any abnormalities. You may also wish to find out the gender of your baby, if you can’t wait to know if you will be having a baby boy or baby girl to prepare the necessities for the arrival of your child!
Postnatal checks
You will usually be advised by your doctor to schedule a postpartum check-up 4-6 weeks after your delivery. Your weight, blood pressure, breasts and genital organs will be checked and examined to ensure your recovery. Pap smear, a simple procedure to detect for any abnormal cells in the cervix will also be performed. This is also a good opportunity to consult your doctor regarding any difficulties faced when adapting to life with your baby or with regards to birth control, and also about the ideal exercises for you.
