Baby planning – – The importance of conscious conception
Having a child is one of the most significant events in life. Conscious preparation not only positively impacts the health of the mother and baby but also ensures the well-being of the entire family. Below, we outline why planning is important and what to pay attention to.
Why is conscious baby planning important?
During baby planning, it is crucial to be in optimal physical, mental, and emotional health. The following steps can help with preparation:
- Healthy lifestyle: Eliminate harmful habits such as alcohol and smoking, and adopt a healthier lifestyle. Drink plenty of fluids, consume nutrient-rich foods, and take vitamins.
- Management of chronic diseases: If you have a chronic condition (e.g., thyroid disease, high blood pressure), consult your healthcare provider before planning a pregnancy. It is important to understand which medications may need to be adjusted and what steps should be taken if you receive a positive pregnancy test.
- Family history: Consider whether there have been any genetic issues or difficulties with conception in your family. If so, it is worth discussing this with your gynecologist to determine if preliminary genetic tests or special evaluations are needed.
Gynecological examinations
Annual gynecological screenings are essential, especially when planning to conceive. It is also practical to request an ultrasound examination and come prepared with a menstrual calendar for the consultation. Discuss your menstrual cycle with your gynecologist, including its regularity and any issues, and determine whether hormone tests or other evaluations are needed.
Birth plan
It is important to decide in advance where you would like to give birth—whether in a public or private hospital. Consider if it is important for you to have a specific doctor present during delivery, as this can primarily be arranged through the private sector. Reflect on what is most important to you regarding your birth plan.
Why choose our clinic?
Our clinic is staffed with expert doctors ready to assist you throughout every stage of baby planning. We provide personalized attention to offer the best advice on healthy lifestyle choices, necessary examinations, and crafting your birth plan.

Pregnancy confirmation – What do you need to know about the first examination?
One of the most exciting moments of expecting a baby is when the pregnancy test turns positive. Many want to see their gynecologist immediately to see their baby and hear its heartbeat. This first meeting with your gynecologist is very important, as you may have many questions, and this is when the monitoring of your pregnancy begins.
When is it advisable to visit the gynecologist?
- After a positive pregnancy test:We know you're very excited, but try not to rush to the doctor immediately. If your periods are regular, it’s advisable to schedule an appointment about two weeks after your missed period.
- Early screening:If you’re very anxious, you can go as early as a week later, but at this stage, we can only see the gestational sac and the yolk sac; the heartbeat will not yet be visible.
- After two weeks:Two weeks after the missed period, you can already see a few-millimeter embryo and its heartbeat.
- In the case of irregular periods:If your periods are irregular, wait at least a week after a positive test before visiting the doctor.
Special cases
- If you have a medical condition, such as thyroid disease, or if you are regularly taking medication, inform your doctor as soon as you get a positive test. This will help determine if any adjustments to your medication are needed.
How to prepare for the first examination?
- A list of questions:It’s a good idea to write down your most important questions in advance. Think about what concerns or interests you most, or what you want to know about your pregnancy.
- Double appointment:If you feel that you have particularly many questions or if you consider your case to be complex, book a double appointment to ensure there is enough time for all your concerns.
The procedure of the first examination
- General examination:The doctor will assess your overall health.
- Ultrasound: During the ultrasound examination, they will check the gestational sac, the yolk sac, and later the embryo as well.
- Questions and background:The doctor will ask about your previous pregnancies, any past illnesses, surgeries, and any family history of diseases.
- The next step:You will discuss the upcoming tests and the process for monitoring your pregnancy.
What to bring with you?
- Health history:All your previous health documents, test results, and a list of medications.
- A list of questions:Your pre-written questions and concerns.
Why is the first examination important?
During the first examination, the doctor will not only confirm the pregnancy but also inform you about the necessary tests and tasks throughout your pregnancy. This period is crucial for both your health and the baby's, so feel free to ask any questions and ensure that you have all the necessary information.
Traditional maternity care
During traditional maternity care, based on the initial conversations, the doctor assesses the expectant mother’s situation. If no special issues arise, standard protocol care will follow. This is crucial to ensure both the mother’s and the baby’s health are monitored, and to detect any potential problems in a timely manner.
Health monitoring
The goal of prenatal care is to monitor the health of both the mother and the baby, and to identify pregnancy-related issues in a timely manner, such as:
- Kidney pelvis inflammation
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Protein in urine
Pregnancy places a significant strain on the mother’s body, making regular examinations and care essential.
One of the most important aspects of maternity care is conducting genetic tests to ensure the baby's health:
- Three genetic ultrasounds at different stages of pregnancy
- Blood-based genetic tests to minimize the risk of a baby being born with genetic disorders.
Monitoring the baby's condition
In addition to genetic problems, there can be other issues such as:
- Abnormal amniotic fluid levels
- Placental problems
- Fetal position and movement in the womb
Other tests
Additional important prenatal tests and assessments during pregnancy:
- Cervical examination for assessing preterm labor risk
- CTG examination for fetal heart monitoring
Regular prenatal check-ups
The primary aim of regular prenatal check-ups is to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the baby throughout pregnancy.
These regular check-ups and tests are crucial in ensuring that both the mother and the baby leave the hospital in good health.
Management of high-risk pregnancy
Pregnancy is a special time in every woman's life, but unfortunately, certain factors may categorize it as high-risk. The following situations require special attention in maternity care:
- Expecting the first child at a young or older age.
- Multiple miscarriages in the past.
- After uterine surgeries, such as following fibroid surgery.
- Previous pregnancy-related conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or preeclampsia.
- Preterm birth or the birth of an excessively large or small baby.
Personalized care
The doctors at L33 Medical treat each case individually, determining the necessary additional tests and appointments. Our goal is to minimize disease risks and intervene in a timely manner to avoid more serious issues. This may include:
- The need for hospitalization.
- The baby's early birth planning.
- Modification of medication treatment.
During high-risk maternity care:
- You will discuss all questions in detail with the doctor.
- The doctor will explain what is happening in the mother’s body.
- Continuous collaboration between the pregnant woman and the doctor is crucial.
- Medical recommendations must fit into the pregnant woman’s lifestyle.
Empathetic care at L33 Medical
At L33 Medical, we place great emphasis on empathetic and comprehensive care. We offer a range of testing options on-site so you don’t have to run around to different locations:
- Genetic ultrasound examinations to monitor potential abnormalities.
- Comprehensive laboratory testing options.
- CTG examinations.
Our goal is to do everything possible for the best care of both the mother and the baby, even in high-risk pregnancy management.
Contact us so we can provide you with the best professional and empathetic support during this special time.
Changing doctors during maternity care
Pregnancy is a special time during which you need to feel safe and confident that your doctor is properly managing your pregnancy. Choose a doctor with whom you can speak openly and honestly, who understands your concerns, and who is willing to answer all your questions.
If you feel that you’re not being understood by your doctor or that you don’t feel safe with them, it might be worth considering changing doctors.
When is it worth changing doctors?
- Communication issues:If you don’t understand what the doctor is saying, or if you don’t have the opportunity to ask questions.
- Lack of trust:If you don’t feel safe with your doctor.
- Personal chemistry:If you simply can’t find common ground.
How to change doctors?
- Contacting:Send us an email, and our assistants will help you find a doctor that meets your expectations. We will provide personalized recommendations, taking into account your past difficulties and needs."
- Preparing documents:Bring all your previous medical records, prenatal book, lab results, and ultrasound images.
- Scheduling an appointment:If you are changing doctors after the 12th week, it is advisable to book a double appointment so that the new doctor can thoroughly review all your records and ask about previous events.
What should be considered when changing doctors?
- Doctor’s availability:Some doctors accept new patients only during certain stages of pregnancy. It’s important to clarify this in advance.
- Time commitment:The new doctor will need to thoroughly review all your previous records and medical history, which may take extra time.
- Emergency care:In acute or emergency situations, you can approach any doctor, but in severe cases, hospital care is the safest option.
Help and support
We are always ready to support you in choosing a doctor. If you are unsure,contact us,and our assistants will help you find the most suitable prenatal care provider. It is important that you feel safe and receive proper care during this special time.
Gestational diabetes (GDM)
Gestational diabetes is an increasingly common issue, particularly due to the rise in insulin resistance and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, regardless of whether these conditions were present beforehand, gestational diabetes can develop in any pregnant woman. It is important to understand that gestational diabetes can be dangerous for the baby, as the mother typically has no noticeable symptoms, but it can seriously affect the baby and even lead to stillbirth.
Diagnosis of gestational diabetes
Glucose tolerance test
- Standard appointment time:Gestational diabetes is typically checked through a glucose tolerance test performed between the 24th and 26th weeks of pregnancy.
- Early screening:In certain cases, an earlier glucose tolerance test, such as at 16 weeks of pregnancy, may be warranted. These cases may include:
- Previous gestational diabetes
- Mother delivered a baby weighing more than 4000 grams
- Presence of insulin resistance or PCOS
- Other metabolic disorders
- Obesity (in overweight women)
- Other reasons recommended by the maternity care doctor
Other tests
During pregnancy, conditions such as excessive amniotic fluid or other laboratory abnormalities may also warrant performing the glucose tolerance test.
Treatment and management
- Consultation with a diabetologist:If gestational diabetes is diagnosed, it is important for the pregnant woman to consult a diabetologist. In our clinic, we recommend Dr. Márk Svébis, an internist and diabetologist, or Dr, Rita Rentz. doktornőt.
- Close collaboration:Close collaboration between the internist and the obstetrician is necessary for the care of the pregnant woman. We often also involve a dietitian, such as Diána Hrabák, who helps in setting up appropriate nutrition.
- Personalized diet:Proper nutrition does not mean starvation or a strict diet. In every case, we create a personalized meal plan, taking into account the pregnant woman's needs and health condition.
Important information
- Regular monitoring:Gestational diabetes must be strictly monitored, as it can have serious consequences.
- Personalized treatment:Treatment and diet are always personalized and are not based on stereotypes found on the internet.
Baby ultrasound – An unforgettable experience for parents
Genetic ultrasounds are extremely important and useful, though they are not always visually striking. These tests reveal details about the fetus's health, such as the fine details of the kidneys, which may be less moving compared to seeing the baby smile, suck its thumb, or scratch its ear. In such cases, a baby ultrasound offers a unique experience, as it provides time to observe the fetus's adorable and touching moments.
Why choose baby ultrasound?
- Preserving experiences:The recordings made during the baby ultrasound remain as eternal memories and can be viewed later. These moments are invaluable for parents and grandparents.
- Determining the baby's gender:Baby ultrasound provides the opportunity to determine the baby's gender, allowing us to prepare earlier for the little one's arrival.
- Multiple occasionsUsually, we only have a few opportunities to witness such special moments, so it's worth seizing every chance to preserve these experiences.
Contact information
Our service is available in all our clinics, where our experienced specialists, Szilvi Mikola and Zsófi Danka, are ready to ensure the unforgettable experience of baby ultrasound and provide the highest quality recordings.

Baby ultrasound
Thanks to our modern ultrasound equipment, you can now see your unborn child in the womb, which was unimaginable just a few decades ago. With us, you will undergo ultrasound examinations and baby ultrasounds in a pleasant, family-like environment using state-of-the-art technology, so we can provide the most accurate information and the highest quality images to those who visit us!
Dietetics
During pregnancy, maintaining physical, mental, and overall well-being is particularly important. It might be beneficial to seek the help of a dietitian as you prepare for the baby, especially if you suspect that conception might be more challenging for you due to family history or metabolic disorders. If you struggle with overweight or underweight issues, insulin resistance, or thyroid problems, a dietary consultation can be especially useful.
Why is it worth consulting a dietitian?
There is a lot of general nutritional advice available on the internet, but it is not personalized (and can even be harmful). A dietitian provides tailored advice that takes into account your lifestyle, work habits, and individual preferences. Whether you work at a multinational company and have food delivered every day, or you shop at the local grocery store and cook for yourself, makes a difference. Considering your specific situation and habits allows for the best results, whether you're looking to gain weight, lose weight, or optimize healthy eating.
Why is healthy eating particularly important during pregnancy?
Proper nutrition not only helps the mother with weight control but also impacts the baby's health in the long term. The mother’s diet during pregnancy affects the baby’s future health and well-being. It is important to eat as healthily as possible to provide the best start for our unborn child even while in the womb.
Genetic ultrasound
Genetic ultrasounds are perhaps the most important tests during pregnancy, as they help determine whether the baby is healthy. These tests can identify potential genetic developmental disorders, such as chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome, or other developmental issues like a missing kidney, bowel obstructions, heart valve abnormalities, circulatory problems, or abnormal findings in the brain.
Genetic ultrasounds consist of three mandatory examinations during pregnancy. The first takes place at 12 weeks, the second at 20 weeks, and the third between 30 and 32 weeks. These exams are extremely important because each focuses on different aspects, but all are crucial for monitoring the health of the fetus.
It is very important that these examinations are performed with the highest quality ultrasound equipment and by an experienced genetic ultrasound specialist who specializes in this field. This ensures that the most accurate results are obtained, and if any abnormalities are detected, they can be properly investigated further.
In our clinic Dr. László Molnár, clinical geneticist and Dr. Áron Fekete, a genetic ultrasound specialist perform these examinations. If any abnormalities are detected, further investigations can be conducted within our clinic.
If you have any questions regarding genetic ultrasounds, contact us, and we will assist you in understanding the process and significance of the examinations.
Genetic ultrasound
For every prospective parent, the most important question is whether the growing baby in the womb will be healthy. During pregnancy, mandatory ultrasounds, or as they are commonly known, "genetic ultrasounds," aim to provide answers to this question.
Genetic tests
The most important question is always whether the baby is healthy, regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl. Numerous genetic tests are available to assess whether the baby is truly healthy.
Why choose genetic tests?
- Modern methods:Through genetic tests from maternal blood, we can examine the baby's genetics without the risk of infection or miscarriage. A simple blood draw allows us to isolate the baby's cells from the maternal blood, providing an accurate picture of the chromosomal condition.
- Safety and accuracy:These modern tests are reliable and safe. They are especially recommended for mothers over 35, pregnancies conceived through assisted reproduction, cases with previous genetic issues, or when recommended by a doctor.
- Peace of mind and safety:Genetic tests cost approximately 200,000 HUF, but they provide reassuring answers. It is advisable to discuss them with your doctor or the specialist performing the genetic ultrasound.
Services
- Package deals:We offer genetic test packages, which may include additional services such as a complimentary baby ultrasound in certain cases.
- Combined test:Although available, according to current scientific knowledge, if a high-quality genetic ultrasound has been performed, taking the combined test is almost unnecessary. It may be worth allocating the money to other areas.
Important information
Genetic tests and ultrasounds should always be performed by experienced specialists to ensure the most accurate results.
For more information and to schedule an appointment, please contact us, and we will help you navigate the process and significance of the tests. Ensure your baby’s health with us!
Genetic counseling
In our clinic, a clinical geneticist is also available. During pregnancy, numerous questions may arise that are worth discussing with a genetic specialist. Dr. László Molnár , with years of experience and expertise, can assist you during these sensitive times.
Common questions during pregnancy
During pregnancy, situations that may pose genetic risks can often arise. For example, if the mother took medication without knowing she was pregnant or if she contracted an infection, these situations can be concerning. It is important to clarify whether there is any genetic risk involved.
Genetic history and risks
Another common scenario is when there has been a genetic abnormality in the family history. For instance, if there has been a previous miscarriage or the baby was lost due to a genetic issue, it's important to consult a clinical geneticist. In such cases, Dr. László Molnár can help determine whether the abnormality is the result of a new mutation or if there are hereditary factors involved. It is also crucial to assess the risk of recurrence if the couple wishes to conceive again.
Hereditary diseases
Genetic counseling may be necessary if there is a known hereditary genetic disease in the family of either parent. This is not limited to conditions like a grandmother's diabetes but includes more severe genetic disorders. In such cases, it is important to assess whether there are concerns, and if special interventions or other measures are needed before conceiving. During genetic counseling, we help determine the likelihood of the baby inheriting the genetic condition.
Personalized counseling
In the context of genetic counseling, we help clarify these questions and provide personalized advice to prospective parents so they can be as prepared as possible for having a child. Dr. László Molnár’s expertise and experience ensure that you receive the most appropriate support during this sensitive and important period.
Scheduling an appointment:
If you have questions during your pregnancy or need genetic counseling, visit our clinic and schedule an appointment with Dr. László Molnár. Contact us with confidence so we can help you make the best decisions.

Postpartum 6-week check-up
The postpartum 6-week check-up is one of the most important yet often overlooked examinations. Its purpose is to assess the mother's physical and emotional recovery. It's crucial to take care of yourself not only during pregnancy but also after childbirth. This period is critical for the body's recovery.
Why is the 6-week postpartum check-up important?
Physical recovery: During the check-up, the doctor assesses how the body has recovered after childbirth, whether it was a vaginal delivery or a cesarean section. They will check if the wounds have healed properly, if there are any signs of inflammation or infection, and if everything is normal inside the uterus.
Breastfeeding: If you have chosen to breastfeed, the doctor can provide advice on milk production and address any breastfeeding-related questions.
Return of menstruation: If you are not breastfeeding, the doctor will inform you about when to expect the return of your menstruation.
What questions should be discussed?
Next pregnancy: When are you planning your next baby? What would be the ideal time to conceive?
Contraception: What contraceptive methods does the doctor recommend? Hormonal or non-hormonal options? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
Sexuality and pain: If you experience any pain during sex or have questions about your sexual life, do not hesitate to discuss them with your doctor.
Urinary and bowel control issues: These can be common after childbirth. It is important to discuss them with your doctor, as they can be managed and improved.
What can you expect during the examination?
General health assessment: The doctor will examine your body to ensure everything is in order after childbirth.
Wound healing assessment: Whether after a cesarean section or a vaginal delivery, the doctor will check the healing of the wounds.
Infections and inflammations: The doctor will check for any signs of infection or inflammation.
Uterine examination: The doctor will examine the condition of the uterus to ensure everything is normal.
Prepare for the check-up!
Before heading to your 6-week postpartum check-up, consider the following questions and topics:
• How do you feel physically and emotionally?
• Have you experienced any pain or discomfort?
• Do you have any questions about breastfeeding?
• Are you interested in contraception, and if so, what methods would you like to learn about?
• Do you have any issues with urinary or bowel control?

Hemorrhoids during pregnancy
Pregnancy-related hemorrhoids are a common issue among expectant mothers. Hemorrhoids involve the swelling and inflammation of the blood vessels around the anus, which can cause pain, itching, and bleeding.
How does pregnancy-related hemorrhoids develop?
During pregnancy, several factors can contribute to the development of hemorrhoids:
- Increased pressure: As the uterus grows, it exerts increasing pressure on the pelvic area and the blood vessels around the anus.
- Hormonal changes: The increase in progesterone levels can cause the relaxation of blood vessel walls, making them more prone to dilation.
- Constipation: Constipation is common during pregnancy and can lead to straining during bowel movements, increasing the risk of developing hemorrhoids.
- Increased blood volume: During pregnancy, the volume of blood increases, which also puts greater pressure on the blood vessels.
What symptoms should you pay attention to?
- Itching and irritation around the anus
- Pain, especially during bowel movements
- Bleeding in the stool or on the toilet paper
- Protruding lumps around the anus
Managing and preventing pregnancy-related hemorrhoids is important for expectant mothers to ensure a more comfortable and healthy pregnancy. If you would like to learn more about hemorrhoid treatment or schedule an appointment, please contact us. Our expert doctors are available to help you restore your health and comfort.

The following description is for informational purposes only. It cannot be overstated that each individual is different, every pregnancy is unique, and every expectant mother has her own specific circumstances. Therefore, like many things in life, this must be tailored to the specific situation and patient.
Registration
At 5-6 weeks (from the first day of the last menstrual period): initial visit. Detailed medical history, examination, transvaginal ultrasound, and pap smear.
Week 8-10
Follow-up transvaginal ultrasound, then as needed: enrollment in midwifery care, general practitioner and dental examination, ECG, and laboratory tests. We will discuss genetic tests with the expectant mother to determine the most suitable options for her.
Week 12
Ultrasound measurement of the nuchal fold, with the option for combined/integrated testing and NIPT testing. We discussed these earlier. Follow-up with results and blood test results.
Week 16
In the case of integrated testing, a second blood sample will be taken. Follow-up gynecological examination, during which blood pressure measurement, cervical check, and, if necessary, ultrasound examination will be performed.
Week 18-20
Genetic ultrasound examination, followed by a gynecological check with the results.
Week 24-26
An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with blood sampling, during which we also check many other factors besides glucose. Follow-up with results, including the essential blood pressure measurement, and a vaginal ultrasound examination to measure the cervical length.
Week 28
Cervical check, blood pressure measurement, and urine test at the clinic.
Week 30-32
Ultrasound examination, gynecological check: cervical assessment, blood pressure, and urine test.
Week 33
If the previous examination was at 30 weeks, another gynecological visit is required before 36 weeks, including cervical check, blood pressure measurement, and, if necessary, an ultrasound examination.
Week 36
Laboratory tests, vaginal discharge culture, CTG (cardiotocography) examination, cervical check, ultrasound examination, blood pressure measurement, and urine test.
Following this, until the scheduled date, weekly CTG, blood pressure, urine, gynecological, and ultrasound examinations, including flow measurement.
The above schedule can be influenced by numerous factors, such as the mother's age, previous illnesses, the history of past pregnancies, any conditions developed during the current pregnancy (e.g., high blood pressure, diabetes, threatened preterm labor...), or even something as simple as Christmas or a family vacation. Fortunately, few tests have extremely strict timing that we cannot deviate from; for everything else, we can adjust according to needs, considering both the professional protocol and the highest safety of the expectant mother.
