Complementary tests during the pregnancy

During the gestation, and under the gynaecologist criteria, several complementary tests are indicated and conducted, such as blood and urine tests, ultrasound scans or antenatal diagnosis tests.

The analyses carried out during almost every pregnancy are three, distributed in the corresponding three-month periods:

  • First three-month period: basic blood and urine test, together with the antibody analysis to reject several infections: rubella, toxoplasmosis, syphilis, AIDS and hepatitis.
  • Second three-month period: the O´Sullivan´s test is carried out for the diagnosis of gestational diabetes.
  • Third three-month period: together with the basic analysis, coagulation tests are conducted

In the last weeks (between 35th and 37th) cultures of vaginal secretion are conducted in order to detect the presence of streptococcus. If the result is positive, antibiotics for the mother will be indicated for the dilatation moment.
