Why It’s Done
This test is typically done during routine antenatal care to:
• Assess the overall health of the mother and baby
• Screen for infections and conditions that could affect pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, anemia, or infections
• Provide early identification of potential risks for complications during pregnancy, including preeclampsia or blood-related disorders
Preparation
• Non-Fasting: You do not need to fast before this test, but it is advised to follow any specific instructions given by your healthcare provider.
• Avoid heavy exercise or taking any medications that could affect test results without consulting your doctor.
