What do they test for when they draw blook when youre pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things!: Pregnancy hormones, drug levels, exposure to infections or substances that could harm your baby (e.g. Hiv, lead), thyroid/kidney/liver/blood function and many other maternal health parameters can be tested during pregnancy and help the doctors prevent/minimize complications to mother and child. Early pregnancy is reliably diagnosed by the specific hormone produced by the implanted fertilized egg.
