- An initial consultation with an obstetrician-gynecologist, as well as a repeat consultation based on the results of the examinations completed,

At the first consultation, the doctor examines the expectant mother’s medical history, gives a referral for examination, and helps in resolving the most significant issues based on the data obtained about the woman’s health condition. A repeat appointment is scheduled after a prenatal ultrasound and biochemical screening. The obstetrician-gynecologist registers the patient for pregnancy, fills out all the documentation, and gives recommendations. - Appointment with a general practitioner

- allows you to assess the condition of the heart and identify pathologies: rhythm disturbances, blood circulation. - Appointment with an ENT doctor
- no woman is insured against diseases of the ear, nose and throat (colds, acute respiratory viral infections, sore throats), so it is important to carry out sanitation in a timely manner to avoid drug treatment during pregnancy. - Consultation with an ophthalmologist

is the most important test, as a result of which the doctor obtains indicators of platelets, hemoglobin, red blood cells, etc., and then can accurately assess the general condition of the expectant mother’s body. - A general urine test
allows you to evaluate how the kidneys and urinary system work, as well as identify pathologies such as gestosis and eclampsia. - Blood group

In which areas can epilation be performed?
Laser hair removal can be done on the following areas of the body:
- face;
- armpits;
- upper and lower limbs.
Laser hair removal of bikini during pregnancy is contraindicated. This precaution is due to the fact that this area is in close proximity to the fetus. In addition, the bikini area has very thin and sensitive skin, so hair removal here is especially painful and uncomfortable. Severe pain can also lead to hypertonicity of the uterus, which, in turn, is fraught with serious complications for the unborn child, including miscarriage or premature birth.
Why is it strictly forbidden to do the procedure for pregnant women?
Some women agree to biorevitalization during early pregnancy, sometimes even hiding this fact from doctors and cosmetologists. Sometimes a woman herself does not yet know that she is pregnant. However, this procedure can be extremely dangerous for the unborn child, because it is in the first trimester that the formation of the fetal facial tissues, nervous, and circulatory systems occurs - and the intervention of chemicals can lead to defects.
Several reasons why biorevitalization should not be done during pregnancy:
- pain that negatively affects the well-being of the woman - and the fetus;
- possible consequences of the procedure - infections - and antibiotics have an extremely negative effect on the unborn child;
- pregnancy rearranges the endocrine system and hormones work differently, and this affects the appearance (including the skin).
Important: that’s why you can’t decide “if I get pregnant, I’ll do the procedure while I’m on maternity leave”: the skin reacts to cosmetic intervention completely unpredictably during this difficult period for the body. Allergic reactions may appear to drugs that have not previously caused this.
Other reasons include:
- decreased immunity (infection occurs very easily through punctures, risk of skin inflammation);
- predisposition to edema: the body accumulates fluid - and therefore edema may also appear on the face;
- predisposition to blood clotting disorders: heavy blood loss may occur or the wounds will not heal for a long time;
- filler components negatively affect the fetus and its development and cause general stress in the body.
Therefore, the answer to the question “is it possible to do biorevitalization during pregnancy” is a clear “no”.
