Antenatal Visit and Diagnostic Tests

What can I expect from my 5th antenatal visit

If all is progressing well, you will have a simple routine check-up. This includes your weight, blood pressure and urine check. The doctor may also perform a sonography to check foetal movements and heartbeat, and look for any abnormalities in the baby.

Why is a hepatitis B test necessary

Unlike hepatitis A, this strain can be passed on to the foetus during childbirth. Nine out of ten infected babies, if left untreated, become chronic carriers and are at a risk of developing a more serious liver disease. If you have a routine test now, it is possible for your doctor to be prepared to treat your baby at birth, so that future complications can be prevented.
