What is Pregnancy Screening?
Pregnancy screening tests are vital procedures that help identify any health concerns that could affect the mother or baby. These tests are crucial for early detection and management of potential risks during pregnancy.
Key Pregnancy Screening Services Offered
Bloods Tests At the start of your pregnancy, you will undergo bloods tests. This comprehensive panel of tests includes checking your blood type, iron levels, and screening for various conditions such as hepatitis B, HIV, and syphilis. These tests are essential for establishing a baseline of health and identifying any issues early in pregnancy.
Gestational Diabetes Screening Gestational diabetes is a condition that can develop during pregnancy, characterized by high blood sugar levels that can affect both mother and baby’s health. Screening for gestational diabetes is typically recommended between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. This involves a glucose tolerance test to ensure that any signs of gestational diabetes are managed promptly and effectively.
