Check Pregnancy with More Expensive Fetomaternal Ultrasound, How Important?

Dream - Monthly pregnancy check-ups are very important for the health of the mother and fetus. This is so that midwives or doctors can accompany and ensure the stability of the health condition of the mother and fetus during pregnancy until delivery.

One important examination during pregnancy is ultrasound. With ultrasound (USG), the condition of the fetus in the womb can be diagnosed using ultrasonic waves. Usually, this USG examination is carried out by obstetric specialists, and if there is suspicion related to the condition of the fetus, it will be recommended to consult with a sub-specialist obstetrician.

The number of sub-specialist fetomaternal doctors in Indonesia is not many, there are only 300 in the entire country. The cost for Fetomaternal ultrasound examination is also quite expensive, around Rp750 thousand to Rp1 million, more expensive than regular ultrasound check.

"Maybe many fathers and mothers are confused whether they should consult with a fetomaternal doctor during pregnancy? Doctor Purnawan Senoaji, obstetrics and gynecology specialist, fetomaternal subspecialist, provides an explanation."

"Actually, there is no obligation. So, the fetomaternal subspecialist's task is to help assess the detection in more detail regarding the condition of the fetus, such as evaluating the structure of the brain, heart structure, facial profile structure, whether there is a cleft or not, as well as the internal organs, limbs, blood flow in the brain, blood flow in the umbilical cord, and amniotic fluid. We will try to evaluate everything more carefully," said Dr. Purnawan.

According to him, if a pregnant mother is referred to a sub specialist in fetomaternal, usually the obstetrician will observe indications of problems in the fetus. This can only be analyzed by a sub specialist in fetomaternal.

"Some are indeed referred because there is suspicion or if the patient wants to be examined in more detail, it is the patient's right," said Dr. Purnawan."

"Whether it is mandatory or not, actually it is not mandatory. If the obstetrician does not refer, then there is no need to undergo fetomaternal examination. If you really want to know more about the fetus's condition in more detail through fetomaternal ultrasound, it is also not a problem."

"So, when talking about whether it is mandatory or not, there is no one who obliges. The doctor told my mother not to go to the fetomaternal doctor, actually, there is no one who obliges. The fetomaternal subspecialist's task is to help assess in more detail the detection of the fetus's condition," said Dr. Purnawan. Source @purnawansenoaji_dr"
