Early Peace of Mind for Your Pregnancy Journey
As an expectant mother in South Africa, the first trimester brings both excitement and natural concerns about your baby’s health. The First Trimester Triple Marker Test provides the reassurance you need during these crucial early weeks, offering comprehensive screening that helps detect potential chromosomal conditions and pregnancy complications before they become serious health concerns.
Understanding Your First Trimester Screening
This advanced screening test combines three key markers to provide a complete picture of your pregnancy health between 10-13 weeks gestation. The test measures Free Beta HCG, Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A (PAPP-A), and Placental Growth Factor (PlGF) to assess risks for chromosomal abnormalities and pre-eclampsia – a serious pregnancy complication that affects many South African women.
Who Should Consider This Important Screening?
This test is recommended for all pregnant women, especially if you:
- Are between 10-13 weeks pregnant
- Have concerns about chromosomal conditions in your family history
- Have experienced high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia in previous pregnancies
- Are over 35 years of age
- Have diabetes or smoke during pregnancy
- Want comprehensive early screening for peace of mind
