Pregnancy Package (Third Trimester)

Description:

• A third-trimester pregnancy package or routine checkup focuses on tracking your baby’s growth and checking for late-pregnancy complications.

Benefits:

• Delivery Planning and Readiness


• Intrapartum Infection Prevention


• Maternal Complication Surveillance


• Fetal Growth and Well-being Tracking

Who should consider this package?

• Expectant mothers who are roughly 28 weeks pregnant or more (entering weeks 28–40).


• Women with high-risk pregnancies or those needing closer supervision for conditions like gestational diabetes or high blood pressure.


• Moms preparing for labor, as these tests help spot hidden infections or issues that could affect vaginal delivery.

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.
  


• AST, ALT (Liver function) - AST (Aspartate Transaminase) and ALT (Alanine Transaminase) are liver enzymes measured as part of this test. An increased presence of these enzymes could indicate liver disease or liver damage.
  


• Creatinine:
  This test measures creatinine levels in a sample of your blood and/or urine (pee). Creatinine is a normal waste product in your body.
  


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


• ECG: An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a quick test to see how the heart is beating. It checks the electrical signals in the heart.
  


• 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
