KTG

KTG is nothing more than an abbreviation whose full name is CARDIOTOKOGRAPHY.

What exactly is it?

An OCG is a completely non-invasive test that easily allows you to monitor your baby's heart rate and uterine contraction activity simultaneously over time. It usually takes around 30 minutes.

No special preparation is required. You do not need to be fasting. You can turn up at any time. It is performed in the supine position. Using elastic bands, we attach two pelvises that monitor the fetal heart rate and uterine contraction activity, with the recording visible on a monitor screen and finally assessed by the doctor or midwife.

The OCG is an extremely important and useful tool performed complementarily during pregnancy, by which we can find out about so-called fetal wellbeing, i.e. whether your baby is feeling well.

When should I actually do such a test?

In a physiological pregnancy, i.e. one that is progressing completely normally, an KTG recording is made around the time of delivery, i.e. at 40 weeks' gestation.

If, however, your pregnancy is different, you are struggling with, for example, gestational diabetes or hypertension in pregnancy, FGR (slowing down of your baby's growth) - such recordings should be performed in the third trimester of pregnancy well in advance and, importantly, on a regular basis - how often - is determined by the doctor in charge of the pregnancy.

In other individual cases, of course, you can also carry out such an examination with us.

Obstetric visit with ultrasound - basic

FAQ

Positive pregnancy test result, when to make the first appointment?

It is best for the patient to attend her first appointment by the 10th week from the date of her last menstrual period. During the obstetric examination, an ultrasound will be performed to confirm the presence of pregnancy and additional tests necessary for the safe management of the pregnancy will be ordered. Depending on the patient's state of health, co-morbidities and test results, the doctor will set a date for the next appointment.

If there are any worrying symptoms such as severe lower abdominal pain with spotting or bleeding, an obstetric appointment should take place as soon as possible after the onset of symptoms.

What tests to be prepared for during the first obstetric visit in pregnancy?

At the first visit, a subject and physical examination, blood pressure measurement, mammary gland examination, determination of height, weight and BMI will be performed. In addition, the doctor will recommend the following tests: Blood group and Rh group, unless the pregnant woman has a properly documented blood group test, immune antibodies to red blood cell antigens, blood count, general urine test, fasting glucose, VDRL test, HIV and HCV test, toxoplasmosis testing (IgG and IgM, unless the pregnant woman has a confirmed IgG antibody result from before pregnancy), rubella IgM and IgG testing (unless the pregnant woman has had the disease or vaccination), TSH determination, dental check-up.

How often during pregnancy should I go for check-ups?

During a physiological pregnancy, consultations should not be less frequent than 3-4 weeks, depending on the stage of pregnancy. In justified cases, the doctor may decide on more frequent checks.
