• Blood tests to check iron levels, blood type, immunity and exposure to harmful diseases/infections, and genetic conditions
• Glucose screening to monitor for gestational diabetes
• Blood pressure & urine checks to detect early signs of preeclampsia
• Optional genetic screenings offering extra insights into baby’s health and future

Remember: Every pregnancy is unique. Your healthcare provider will guide you on which screenings are right for you.

A healthy pregnancy starts with informed choices and supportive care. You’re doing amazing, mama! 💕
