This complex is recommended by the WHO and is used in most countries of the world. It allows you to identify possible risks at an early stage and create an individual pregnancy management plan.<\/p>\n
Why is it important to know the Rh factor?<\/h3>\n
Rh factor affects the compatibility of the mother's and child's blood. If a woman has Rh-negative blood and the child inherits Rh-positive blood from the father, Rh-conflict may occur. The mother's body produces antibodies that can affect future pregnancies.<\/p>\n
To avoid this, anti-Rhesus immunoglobulin is administered at certain times. This fully complies with international standards and helps prevent complications.<\/p>\n
What infections are checked for during pregnancy?<\/h3>\n
In addition to the mandatory tests, the doctor may recommend additional tests, especially if this is your first pregnancy or there are risks.<\/p>\n
Most often checked: These infections may be unnoticed by the woman, but affect the development of the fetus. The TORCH panel allows you to determine whether there is immunity or acute infection.<\/p>\n These are screening tests aimed at assessing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, such as: Down syndrome<\/a>, Edwards' and other genetic conditions.<\/p>\n The dual test is performed at 11\u201313 weeks and involves two hormones: hCG and PAPP-A. It is combined with the results of the first ultrasound, which assesses the thickness of the collar zone and some other markers.<\/p>\n Triple and quadruple tests are performed in the second trimester. They analyze more indicators, which allows for a more accurate assessment of potential risks. This is not a diagnosis, but a screening stage - if necessary, the doctor can recommend clarifying methods.<\/p>\n A non-invasive prenatal test analyzes fetal DNA particles in the mother's blood. It is recommended in the following cases:<\/p>\n \u2022 maternal age over 35 years According to reviews by the Mayo Clinic and current international studies, NIPT has a very high accuracy for major chromosomal abnormalities and does not pose a risk to pregnancy.<\/p>\n This simple test allows you to monitor processes that are especially important during pregnancy:<\/p>\n \u2022 hemoglobin level \u2014 to detect anemia Anemia<\/a> \u2014 a common phenomenon among pregnant women. It can affect well-being, fetal development, and the course of labor, so monitoring of indicators is carried out regularly.<\/p>\n Blood sugar levels can help detect gestational diabetes, a condition that develops only during pregnancy. Elevated glucose can affect the baby's weight, the mother's blood pressure, and the risk of complications during childbirth.<\/p>\n A glucose tolerance test (GTT) is used to clarify the diagnosis. It allows you to assess how the body reacts to a glucose load.<\/p>\n This is one of the most informative tests for pregnant women. It can detect:<\/p>\n \u2022 kidney dysfunction Preeclampsia is a serious condition that requires monitoring and control, so urine tests are performed regularly.<\/p>\n A pregnant woman's body changes every week. The doctor monitors parameters that can affect the development of the fetus - hemoglobin, blood pressure, kidney function, sugar level. Frequent tests allow you to avoid complications and quickly respond to any changes.<\/p>\n In the final stages of pregnancy, the following are performed:<\/p>\n \u2022 general blood test The test for group B streptococcus is very important because if the result is positive, prophylaxis is used during childbirth to reduce the risk of infections in the newborn.<\/p>\n The final stage of pregnancy is the time when the doctor takes into account all previous results, individual risks, and the mother's health characteristics and forms the optimal plan for preparing for childbirth.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What tests should be taken at the beginning of pregnancy?
