Double Marker Pregnancy Screening: Your First Step to a Healthy Pregnancy Journey
As an expectant mother in South Africa, you want the very best for your growing baby. The early weeks of pregnancy can be filled with both excitement and understandable concern. Our Double Marker test provides the reassurance and early detection you need to navigate your pregnancy with confidence and peace of mind.
Understanding Your Double Marker Test
The Double Marker test is a safe, non-invasive blood screening performed during your first trimester (between 11-14 weeks). This advanced screening measures two specific pregnancy hormones in your blood to assess the risk of chromosomal conditions like Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Patau syndrome. Using state-of-the-art Chemiluminescent Immunoassay technology, we deliver highly accurate results that help you and your healthcare provider make informed decisions about your prenatal care.
Who Should Consider This Important Screening?
This test is recommended for all pregnant women, but is particularly important if you:
- Are 35 years or older
- Have a family history of chromosomal abnormalities
- Have had previous pregnancies with chromosomal conditions
- Want comprehensive early screening for peace of mind
- Are planning to travel abroad during your pregnancy
Early detection gives you more time to prepare, understand your options, and access the best possible care for you and your baby.
