According to Article 32 of the Law on Social Insurance 2014, there are regulations on leave period for prenatal checks-up as follows:
1. Pregnant female employees are entitled to take leaves for 5 prenatal checks-up, one day for each check-up; employees who live far from health establishments or have pathological signs or abnormal pregnancies are entitled to take a two-day leave for each prenatal check-up.
2. The leave period specified in this Article shall be counted in working days, excluding public holidays, New Year holidays and weekends.
Thus, according to the above regulations in Vietnam, female employees will be entitled to take leaves for 5 prenatal checks-up, one day for each check-up (total leave of 10 days) during pregnancy to enjoy benefits. But the above regulations only apply to employees who live far from health establishments or have pathological signs or abnormal pregnancies.

Female employees who have a prenatal check-up must submit a prenatal check-up dossier to receive money for the prenatal check-up. Who submits it to the social insurance agency? Does the employee or the company pay for it? I hope you can help me.

...
According to this Article, during pregnancy, female employees are allowed to take days of leave to go for prenatal checks-up 5 times (regardless of the circumstances). Even if the pregnancy is medical, female employees are not entitled to benefits for more than 5 prenatal checks-up according to regulations in Vietnam.
However, in case of pregnancy with pathological signs or abnormal pregnancies, female employees are entitled to 02 days off for each prenatal check-up in Vietnam (in normal cases, they are only entitled to 01 day off).
Best regards!
