About this test
One draw covering the things that change management in pregnancy: anaemia, blood group and rhesus status, and the infections that can be passed to the baby but are treatable or preventable if found early. It is normally repeated in part later in the pregnancy.
What it measures
- Complete blood count and blood group with Rh
- Hepatitis B and C, HIV and syphilis screening
- Blood glucose
A note on results. A single test is one part of a clinical picture, not a diagnosis. Discuss your report with a qualified doctor, who will read it alongside your history and examination.
