Everyone is familiar with the marriage examination, and I believe that many people will do it before getting married. But through the observation of the people around them, Ofmom found that couples who are ready to have a baby rarely go to the pre-pregnancy examination in advance, often after a period of unsuccessful pregnancy preparation, they think of going to the hospital for physical examination, but it is too late to solve the problem. Therefore, it is better to check up before pregnancy as soon as possible. Moreover, China has implemented a national free pre-pregnancy eugenic health examination, and a series of pre-pregnancy eugenic health examination services are provided for couples who are trying to conceive, which should be missed.
