Pregnancy Package - First Trimester

Description:

• A first-trimester pregnancy blood test package (often called an antenatal profile or early pregnancy panel) checks your overall health, blood type, and screens for infections or nutritional gaps

Benefits:

• Catches Health Issues Early: Spot issues like anemia, infections (HIV, Hepatitis B/C, Rubella), chromosomal issues, or urinary tract infections before they turn into bigger problems.


• Checks Blood Type Match: Finds your ABO blood group and Rh factor so doctors can prevent Rh incompatibility issues between you and your baby.


• Monitors Early Development: Measures hormone levels like quantitative hCG or PAPP-A and pairs with early scans to track growth and pin down your due date.


• Saves Time and Money: Bundles common baseline tests together into one convenient, cost-effective order instead of booking them one by one.


• Gives Peace of Mind: Confirms the pregnancy is progressing safely in the right spot, reducing early-term stress and worry.

Who should consider this package?

• All Expectant Mothers: Recommended as a standard routine procedure right after a positive pregnancy test to establish prenatal care.
  


• Mothers Aged 35 and Older: Higher statistical chance of chromosomal variations, making early screening vital.
  


• History of Miscarriages: Helps spot underlying hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, or infections early.
  


• Chronic Health Conditions: Essential for women managing diabetes, hypertension, or thyroid disorders prior to conception

Components of the Test:

• OB-GYN Specialist Consultation
  


• CBC : A complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test that measures amounts and sizes of your red blood cells, hemoglobin, white blood cells and platelets. It is a critical test to identify a range of disorders.
  


• Blood Group & Rh Type: The Blood Group & Rh Type test determines your ABO blood group (A, B, AB, or O) and your Rhesus (Rh) factor status (positive or negative) — together giving your complete blood type (e.g., A+, O−, AB+).
  


• Random Blood Glucose:This test is used to measure blood sugar levels randomly irrespective of the time you last ate. It helps to spot diabetic and pre-diabetic conditions.
  


• HbA1C: HbA1C or glycated haemoglobin measures the average blood sugar levels in the body in the past 2 or 3 months. It helps to study issues related to diabetes.
  


• Vitamin D: Vitamin D deficiency can lead to bone disorders, fatigue and muscle weakness. This test is taken to gauge if the vitamin D levels in your blood are optimum or not.
  


• Vitamin B12- This test measures the level of B12 in the body, it is crucial for brain and nerve function.
  


• Calcium: A calcium blood test measures the amount of calcium in your blood. Too much or too little calcium in your blood may be a sign of a wide range of medical conditions, such as bone disease, thyroid disease, parathyroid disorders, kidney disease, and other conditions.
  


• Ferritin: This test is done to evaluate ferritin levels in your body, a protein that stores iron in your blood, which is of prime importance for various bodily functions.
  


• TSH: This test is used to detect thyroid disorders by measuring the amount of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in the blood.
  


• Free T3 : A triiodothyronine (T3) test measures the level of T3 in a sample of your blood. It's used to help diagnose thyroid disease.
  


• Free T4: A free T4 test measures the amount of free T4 in your blood. Medical experts believe this test is more accurate than a total T4 test, so it's used more often.
  


• NIPT - NIPT (noninvasive prenatal testing) uses a pregnant woman’s blood to estimate the risk of the fetus having a chromosomal condition like Down syndrome.
  


• Hepatitis B Surface Antigen - An HBsAg test is a blood test that detects the Hepatitis B surface antigen to determine if a person currently has an active Hepatitis B virus infection.
  


• Hepatitis C Antibody (HCV Ab) - The HCV Ab blood test (Hepatitis C Virus Antibody test) checks a blood sample to see if your immune system has made antibodies against the hepatitis C virus.
  


• Obstetric Ultrasound (Monthly) - A prenatal or pregnancy ultrasound uses sound waves to create a picture of a fetus on a screen. Pregnancy care providers use it to check on the health of the fetus and detect certain pregnancy complications. It’s common to have two ultrasounds during pregnancy, but you may have more if your provider feels it’s medically necessary.
