Prenatal testing helps your doctor diagnose and monitor maternal conditions. Conditions that can affect your pregnancy or your baby include:
Our doctors also consider multiple gestation a maternal condition. A woman pregnant with more than one baby, such as twins or triplets, is at greater risk for complications and requires more prenatal care.
At each pregnancy care visit, your doctor checks your health and monitors your baby’s health and development. Your doctor uses test results and his or her own clinical experience to recommend the most appropriate treatment. Proper treatment, which may include medication, minor procedures, and activity restrictions, can help prevent serious complications and increase your chances of a healthy pregnancy and birth.
