  • Monitor the baby’s growth and detect chromosomal abnormalities.
  • Ensure the overall health of both mother and child.

Here’s why each test is important:

  1. Complete Blood Count (CBC):
    • Assesses overall health by measuring red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets.
    • Helps detect anemia, infections, and clotting disorders.
  2. Hepatitis B:
    • Checks for Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, which can be transmitted to the baby during childbirth.
    • Early detection helps in planning preventive measures, such as vaccination for the newborn.
  3. Hepatitis C:
    • Identifies Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, which can affect liver function and may be passed to the baby.
    • Treatment options can be considered to prevent complications.
  4. HIV:
    • Screening for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is crucial to prevent mother-to-child transmission.
    • Timely intervention with antiretroviral therapy can reduce transmission risks.
  5. Urine Routine Examination (Urine RE):
    • Checks for infections, protein, and glucose levels in urine.
    • Helps detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), diabetes, or preeclampsia risks.
  6. Blood Sugar (Glucose):
    • Monitors blood sugar levels to check for gestational diabetes.
    • Managing blood sugar is crucial to avoid complications such as macrosomia (large baby) and preterm birth.
  7. Liver Function Tests (LFTs):
    • Evaluates liver health and detects any liver disorders that might affect pregnancy, such as cholestasis.
    • Important in monitoring conditions like preeclampsia.
  8. Renal Function Tests (RFTs):
    • Assesses kidney function to ensure they are working properly during pregnancy.
    • Helps detect conditions like preeclampsia and gestational hypertension.
  9. Lipid Profile:
    • Monitors cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as pregnancy can affect lipid metabolism.
    • Helps in managing cardiovascular health during pregnancy.
  10. Beta hCG (B HCG):
  • Confirms pregnancy and helps track its progress in the early stages.
  • Abnormal levels can indicate potential pregnancy complications, such as ectopic pregnancy.
  1. Blood Group:
  • Determines the mother’s blood type and Rh factor to prevent Rh incompatibility with the baby.
  • If the mother is Rh-negative and the baby is Rh-positive, preventive measures can be taken to avoid complications.

These tests provide crucial information to ensure a healthy pregnancy and allow healthcare providers to take early actions if any complications arise.
