About Pregnancy Tests and Scans
A blood beta hCG test confirms pregnancy earlier and more reliably than a urine kit, and repeated values help your doctor see whether an early pregnancy is progressing normally.
Once pregnancy is confirmed, an antenatal blood panel checks your blood group, haemoglobin, thyroid, sugar and infections such as HIV, hepatitis B, syphilis and rubella immunity. These are simple tests, but they protect both mother and baby.
Screening for chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome uses a combination of a first-trimester NT scan and blood markers (double marker), or the quadruple marker in the second trimester. A detailed anomaly scan at around 18–20 weeks looks at the baby's organs.
Who should get tested
- A missed period or a positive home test, for confirmation with beta hCG
- Every pregnant woman for the first-visit antenatal panel
- 11–14 weeks: NT scan with double marker, when advised
- 18–20 weeks: anomaly (TIFFA) scan
- 24–28 weeks: glucose tolerance test for gestational diabetes
- Higher-risk pregnancies, including age over 35, previous complications, diabetes or high blood pressure

What the key tests tell you
- Beta hCG (quantitative)
- Confirms pregnancy and, when repeated 48 hours apart, shows whether levels are rising as expected.
- Antenatal profile
- Blood group and Rh type, CBC, sugar, TSH, urine test, and screening for HIV, hepatitis B, syphilis and rubella immunity.
- Double and quadruple marker
- Blood tests that, combined with age and scan findings, estimate the chance of certain chromosomal conditions.
- NT scan
- An ultrasound at 11–14 weeks measuring fluid at the back of the baby's neck, part of first-trimester screening.
- Anomaly scan (TIFFA)
- A detailed scan at around 18–20 weeks examining the baby's brain, heart, spine, kidneys and limbs.
- Glucose tolerance test (GTT)
- Checks for gestational diabetes, usually at 24–28 weeks, or earlier in high-risk women.
Before your test
- Beta hCG and most antenatal blood tests need no fasting; the GTT needs an overnight fast.
- NT and anomaly scans have a narrow time window. Book them by your due date and gestational age.
- For early scans you may be asked to come with a comfortably full bladder.
- Carry your antenatal card and previous reports to every visit.
Understanding your results
Marker tests give a probability, not a diagnosis. A 'high chance' result means further testing may be offered; most babies in this group are born healthy. Your obstetrician will explain the options.
If you are Rh-negative, your doctor will plan for anti-D protection. Low haemoglobin and thyroid imbalance are common in pregnancy and are treated early to support the baby's growth.

Pregnancy Tests and Scans: frequently asked questions
How soon can a blood test detect pregnancy?
A beta hCG blood test can usually detect pregnancy about 10–12 days after conception, a few days before a missed period, which is earlier than most urine kits.
When should the NT scan be done?
Between 11 weeks and 13 weeks 6 days of pregnancy. Book in advance, because this window is short.
Is fasting required for pregnancy blood tests?
Most antenatal tests need no fasting. The glucose tolerance test needs an overnight fast of 8–10 hours.
Can antenatal blood samples be collected at home?
Yes. Home sample collection is available across Hyderabad for blood tests; scans need a visit to the centre.
