Group B Strep is one of the many bacteria that normally live in our bodies and which usually cause no harm.

Even if you are known to carry GBS, it is unlikely your baby will develop a GBS infection. However, in rare situations, it can lead to serious infections in your baby such as sepsis, pneumonia, or meningitis. The risk of your baby becoming unwell with GBS infection is increased if your baby is born pre-term, if you have a temperature (or other signs of infection) during labour, or if your labour hasn’t started more than 24 hours after your waters break.

Most early-onset GBS infections (those developing in the first week of life) can be prevented by antibiotics during labour. Performing this simple test within 5 weeks from delivery can significantly decrease the risk to your baby.

In the UK, testing for GBS is not routinely offered to all pregnant women.

Wellbeing Scan

This scan evaluates your baby’s well-being, including activity, growth, amniotic fluid levels, placenta condition, and estimated fetal weight.

SneakPeek Clinical Early Fetal Sex DNA Test

SneakPeek is a blood test that can confirm your baby’s sex from 6 weeks’ gestation by analyzing fetal DNA for the male Y chromosome. We recommend a dating scan before the test to ensure pregnancy viability and correct gestation, as well as to check for multiple pregnancies.

Progesterone Test

Progesterone supports egg implantation and embryo development. Low levels may indicate pregnancy issues. Monitoring progesterone helps assess pregnancy progress.

Presentation Scan

From 35 weeks, this scan checks your baby’s position and the placenta’s placement. Most babies turn head-down, but some may shift until 36 weeks. Knowing the position helps plan for delivery.

Post Miscarriage Scan

We’re deeply sorry for your loss. This scan checks that your womb and reproductive system have returned to their pre-pregnancy state. It’s suitable 6-8 weeks after a miscarriage or after 1-2 normal periods, ideally within the first 10 days of your cycle.

NIPT— Panorama with microdeletions

Panorama™, a leading NIPT, uses a simple blood draw to assess your baby’s risk for chromosomal conditions and determine sex. It screens for common trisomies, triploidy, and 5 microdeletions. This package includes an early pregnancy scan.

Early Pregnancy Scan

An ultrasound can detect early pregnancy from 6 weeks after LMP. A sonographer confirms pregnancy, checks progress, and detects heartbeats.

Blood Group & Rhesus Factor

A venous blood test determines your blood group and Rh status, crucial for blood compatibility in pregnancy and transfusions.

Beta hCG — Pregnancy viability

Early in pregnancy, hCG levels double every 48 hours. Monitoring these levels can assess pregnancy progress, especially after assisted conception or previous miscarriages. Falling or slow-rising hCG may indicate a risk of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, but it does not provide a conclusive diagnosis.

Beta hCG — Pregnancy confirmation

After conception, the placenta produces the hormone hCG, which is detectable in urine and blood. A blood test can confirm pregnancy as early as 6-10 days post-fertilization.
