Protecting you and your baby. Your first antenatal visit. |
Published:
HPA, September, 2002 on behalf of the Department of Health,
Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS). |
Description:
This leaflet explains about blood tests that are carried out
during the first antenatal visit. The blood tests look for possible
health problems, which if left undetected, could affect mother
or baby. From October 2002 the tests will screen a sample of
the mother's blood for the presence of HIV, hepatitis B, syphilis
and rubella and to determine her blood count/haemoglobin level
and her blood group. This leaflet also contains a consent form,
which should be completed by the patient during this visit. |
