Antenatal Screening Procedures: Ensuring a Healthy Pregnancy at Pro Medic Clinic, Sunway
Welcome to Pro Medic Clinic, Sunway, where we prioritize the health and well-being of expectant mothers. Our comprehensive antenatal screening procedures aim to ensure a smooth and healthy pregnancy journey for both mother and baby. Below, we outline the key screening processes we offer to monitor and safeguard the health of expectant mothers.
First Trimester Screening
This screening may include a combination of blood tests and ultrasound to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome.
Suggested Tests: Serum screening (PAPP-A and hCG levels) and nuchal translucency ultrasound.
Purpose: Early detection helps in making informed decisions about further diagnostic tests or interventions.
Nutrition & Diet Target: Building the Foundation
During the initial months, focus on establishing a strong foundation for both mother and baby. Emphasize a well-balanced diet rich in folic acid, iron, and essential vitamins. Incorporate leafy greens, legumes, fortified cereals, and citrus fruits to support early fetal development.
Second Trimester Screening
A detailed ultrasound is conducted to examine the baby’s anatomy and detect any structural abnormalities.
Tests: Anomaly and Gender scan
Purpose: Identifying potential issues allows for timely medical management or interventions.
Gestational Diabetes Screening:
Blood Tests: A glucose tolerance test to detect gestational diabetes, which can pose risks to both the mother and baby.
Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
Purpose: Early detection and management reduce the risk of complications of Gestational Diabetes.
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) Screening:
Overview: A swab test to identify the presence of GBS, a bacterium that can affect newborns during childbirth.
Test: Vaginal and rectal swab.
Purpose: Administering antibiotics during labor can prevent GBS transmission to the baby.
Rh Factor and Antibody Screening
Overview: Blood tests to determine the Rh factor and check for antibodies that may affect the baby’s health.
Tests: Blood typing and antibody screening.
Purpose: Preventing Rh incompatibility complications by providing appropriate interventions.
Nutrition and Diet Target: Fueling Growth and Development
As your baby begins to grow, your nutritional needs evolve. Prioritize protein-rich foods, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids for optimal fetal growth and bone development. Include lean meats, dairy products, nuts, and fatty fish to meet these demands.
Third Trimester Growth Scan
Overview: An ultrasound to assess the baby’s growth, amniotic fluid levels, and placental health.
Tests: Biophysical profile.
Purpose: Ensuring the baby is developing well and planning for appropriate care during delivery.
Nutrition & Diet Target: Support Healthy Growth and Sustaining Mother’s Energy for Birth Preparation
In the final stretch, focus on sustaining energy levels and preparing your body for childbirth. Increase your intake of complex carbohydrates, fiber, and hydration. Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and plenty of water contribute to a healthy birth weight and support the demands of labor.
Stay hydrated throughout pregnancy to support amniotic fluid levels.
Consume small, frequent meals to alleviate common pregnancy discomforts.
