Investigations During Pregnancy

Prenatal investigations help monitor your health and your baby's development throughout pregnancy. The exact tests depend on your trimester, age, medical history, and any symptoms you report during visits.

In the first trimester, common evaluations include blood grouping, hemoglobin, thyroid and sugar screening, infections panel, and an early ultrasound to confirm viability and due date. Second-trimester care often adds anomaly scans, double marker or quadruple tests where indicated, and glucose tolerance testing.

Third-trimester monitoring focuses on fetal growth, amniotic fluid, placental health, and maternal blood pressure. Non-stress tests or Doppler studies may be advised in high-risk pregnancies.

At Dr. Sulochana's Hospital, we tailor investigations to avoid unnecessary testing while ensuring nothing important is missed. Clear follow-up plans help you understand each result and next steps.
