Pregnancy Lab Tests

Pregnancy blood tests are essential for monitoring maternal and fetal health, detecting complications, and assessing hormone levels, blood type, and infections. They also help in early detection of genetic abnormalities. Regular testing ensures a safer, healthier pregnancy journey for both mother and child.

Our Pregnancy Lab Tests Services

Prenatal Panel

If you’re early in your pregnancy or are waiting to confirm pregnancy, you should have some lab work done to check for infections and antibody levels, confirm your blood type, check for anemia, thyroid function, etc. Your primary care provider will provide you with the requisition or you can schedule an appointment with one of our team members to order your initial prenatal lab work.

Gestational Diabetes Screen (1 hour)

When you are between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy, it is recommended to be screened for diabetes using the glucose tolerance test. You will be given a sugary beverage and a blood sample will be collected one hour later. The entire appointment may take up to 90 minutes. Your lab results will be sent directly to the ordering provider (i.e. midwife, family physician, nurse practitioner, or obstetrician). If you need a requisition, please schedule an appointment with one of our nurse practitioners before scheduling your appointment.

Glucose Tolerance Test (2 hour)

If your provider suspects that you have gestational diabetes based on the Gestational Diabetes Screen, you may have the Glucose Tolerance Test ordered. You need for fast (not eat) overnight and the nurse will collect a blood sample to check your blood glucose. You will be given a sugary beverage and will have two more blood samples collected at the 1 hour mark and again at the 2 hour mark. In total, the entire appointment is expected to take about two and a half hours. Results will be sent directly to the ordering provider.

We had a great experience with Direct Health Solutions and highly recommend their services. The level of care they provide is truly exceptional—they went above and beyond for us. Carrie Hope and the Direct Health Solutions team were very responsive and incredibly helpful while we were navigating such a stressful situation. Carrie, in particular, exceeded our expectations. Her compassion and knowledge were top-notch, and she was very caring toward my wife, who was in a lot of discomfort. She made the entire process so easy and smooth, and we always felt respected and supported. We will definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to others.

NP Carrie Hope's service was exceptionally professional and meticulous. She was incredibly respectful and caring towards her patients, providing the most detailed answers to any inquiries from patients' families. We are so grateful that my mother-in-law received such outstanding home-visit diagnosis and service during her terminal illness. Carrie gave us the best medical and nursing advice. Thank you, Carrie! We also thank coordinator Judy for always being quick to help arrange scheduling. This organization is trustworthy, and we are so fortunate to have received such excellent service!

Had the best experience you could possibly have with any healthcare provider/service! Carrie Hope and the team at Direct Health Solutions have made a very stressful situation the easiest it could have been, and all in the comfort of my home. The compassion I felt with a wealth of knowledge and lack of judgement from Carrie, really helped put me at ease. She walked me through the process step by step, while answering all my questions and concerns the entire time. Going above and beyond expectations of any other medical professional I’ve encountered. I will be using their services first from now on, would highly recommend!

Had a migraine for the first time in 20years. I was able to get a nerve block within the day without having to go through urgent care, the noise and bright lights would have been awful. It was almost instant relief. 100% recommend
