Safety of the 1st Trimester Screening - Comprehensive

The 1st Trimester Screening - Comprehensive is designed to be safe for both you and your developing baby. This screening includes a series of tests that are routinely performed during early pregnancy to assess your health and the health of your baby.

Tests Included in the Screening

• Complete Blood Count (CBC): This test checks for anemia and other blood-related conditions.
• Blood Typing: Determines your blood group and Rh factor, which is important for managing pregnancy.
• Urinalysis: Screens for urinary tract infections and other conditions.
• Blood Sugar Tests: Includes FBS, RBS, HbA1c, and 75g OGTT to monitor glucose levels.
• Infectious Disease Screening: Tests for hepatitis B (HBsAg, Anti-HBs IgG), syphilis (RPR/VDRL), and HIV.
• Rubella Immunity Check: Rubella IgG test if you are 20 weeks or less into your pregnancy.
• Ultrasound: A safe imaging technique to check the baby's development, using a transvaginal approach if less than 12 weeks, or pelvic if 12 weeks and above.

Why It Is Safe

All these tests are non-invasive and are standard procedures in prenatal care. The ultrasound uses sound waves, which are harmless, to create images of your baby. Blood and urine tests are routine and pose no risk to your pregnancy.

By undergoing this comprehensive screening, you are taking proactive steps to ensure the well-being of both you and your baby. It helps in early detection of potential issues, allowing timely interventions if necessary.
