Prenatal care
The prenatal care schedule, broken down by weeks, outlines the essential and regular examinations during pregnancy that are crucial for both your health and that of your unborn child. Legally recommended screening tests must be carried out at the specified times.
To confirm a pregnancy, you should consult an obstetrician-gynecologist. Afterward, the locally assigned health visitor will take over your care, complete, and provide you with the prenatal care booklet. The health visitor performs the necessary examinations and provides information about screening tests as well as available social benefits. The health visitor records the pregnancy and risk classification in the prenatal care booklet.
First trimester
6-8. hét
Pregnancy diagnosis (at the doctor)
Pregnancy is confirmed via ultrasound. Following a review of your medical history, a risk assessment is performed. With the outpatient report issued during this visit, you will need to register with the district midwife to initiate maternity care.
8-10. week
Laboratory test
First trimester laboratory tests (blood and urine) are conducted. If you prefer to have these done at your local clinic, the referral required is your maternity care booklet.
9-11. week
Medical prenatal care (at the doctor)
We will review the test results obtained so far and perform an initial ultrasound examination.
11-14. week
Genetic ultrasound (mandatory) + NIPT (recommended)
This is one of the most important ultrasound examinations, aimed at screening for common genetic disorders. During this visit, the estimated due date (EDD) is also determined. To complement the ultrasound, we recommend a NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Test) - a blood test performed on a sample taken from the mother. It is a risk-free alternative to placental and amniotic fluid testing. The test analyzes fetal DNA present in the maternal bloodstream. Please consult your obstetrician to help you choose the most appropriate test for your needs.

Rendeléseim alatt fontosnak tartom a nyugodt, bizalmi légkör megteremtését, hogy betegeim bármilyen jellegű kérdésükkel, panaszukkal bátran fordulhassanak hozzám. Az első és legfontosabb számomra minden esetben a páciens! A várandósgondozáson eltöltött hónapok alatt mindent megteszek, hogy a hozzám járó páciensek végig biztonságban érezzék magukat, emellett kiemelt figyelmet fordítok a tájékozott beleegyezés elvére, a pozitív szülésélmény megalapozására. Várandósgondozásra szeretettel várom a kismamákat Budapest, III. kerületi magánrendelésemen a várandósság megállapításától (legkorábban 2 héttel a várt menstruáció kimaradása után) egészen a szülésfelkészítésig
