Pregnancy Package (Second Trimester)

Description:

• A 2nd Trimester Pregnancy Package typically includes a mix of routine blood tests, urine checks, and a detailed ultrasound to track both your health and your baby’s growth.

Benefits:

• Fetal Growth & Gestational Diabetes Screening: Fetal Growth tracking and Glucose tests check how your body handles sugar, helping spot gestational diabetes early.


• Maternal Health & Infection Monitoring: Routine blood counts (CBC) check for anemia, while urine tests look out for urinary tract infections or signs of preeclampsia (high blood pressure).


• Timely Guidance: Regular check-ins give you a chance to get professional advice on safe nutrition, managing physical discomforts, and tracking weight gain

Who should consider this package?

• Expectant mothers in weeks 13–27: To monitor both maternal health and fetal development during the middle months of pregnancy.


• Women needing nutritional and general health tracking: It screens for baseline wellness indicators like anemia (complete blood count), vitamin levels (Vitamin B12, Folate), and blood sugar (fasting glucose).


• Mothers screening for gestational complications: Helps catch early signs of gestational diabetes or pregnancy-induced issues

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.
  


• Iron : This test determines the iron levels in your body to identify conditions such as anemia or iron overload.
  


• 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.
  


• 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.
  


• Urine Test: During routine second-trimester prenatal visits, a simple urine test checks for protein, sugar, bacteria, and ketones to monitor your health and your baby's safety.
  


• Oral Glucose tolerance test: The glucose tolerance test measures the body's response to sugar, also called glucose.
  


• 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.
  


• OB-GYN Specialist Consultation follow-up
  

Fasting Requirements:

• Fasting for 8 to 12 hours is required before blood tests and the glucose tolerance test.

Dietary Restrictions:

• Avoid food entirely during the fasting period; only water is permitted until testing is complete.

Medication Considerations:

• Inform your doctor if you are taking iron supplements, vitamins, or any other medications.

Sample collection process:

• Multiple blood sample collections (for tolerance test) + urine sample + ultrasound and clinical examination in the clinic.
