1. If you are pregnant, usually during the first trimester
2. If your doctor is suspecting that you are at high risk of infectious disorders, diabetes mellitus or thyroid diseases during pregnancy

The test is used to check for abnormal values of the factors mentioned above.

• CBC shows the hemoglobin level of the patient. Low levels show sickle cell anemia or an iron deficiency.
• Blood group and Rh factor signify the presence or the absence of the Rh factor in the fetus and the mother and vice versa.
• Glucose F&PP tests for high sugar levels in the mother's body.
• HIV 1&2 test shows the presence or absence of the HIV 1&2 viruses in the mother's body and early detection and treatment can prevent the transmission of the disease to the fetus.
• HBsAg and Anti-HCV are carried out to check Hepatitis 1 and 2 viruses.
• VDRL tests are carried out to check syphilis.
• Hemoglobin electrophoresis shows abnormal hemoglobin.
• Rubella IgG & IgM tests for antibodies in the blood from a prior rubella infection suffered by the mother.
• TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) tests for high levels of TSH in the mother's body, which can be because of excess production of estrogen and a hormone called hCG.
