Blood Tests in Pregnancy

A number of blood tests are recommended at three different points of pregnancy:

  • first contact
  • 26-28 weeks
  • 36 weeks

Some, like tests for anaemia, are repeated each time whereas others are tested only once such as screening for Hepatitis B at the first point. We screen for problems for which we can then provide treatment to reduce the effects on the baby.

Also see the section on HIV screening.
