Gynac wrote down this AFP test for me and im in my 4th month. I just nodded but didnt really understand what it checks for. Can someone explain in simple words na, thoda anxious about why its needed.
Just another test to add to the endless list of blood tests they poke us for! It basically checks for baby's neural tube health. Keep a sweet treat ready for after the needle prick!
Beta, it is a medical test to check if the baby is growing well inside. Eat fresh ghar ka khana, drink coconut water, and go for the test peacefully as your doctor advised.
It's a regular blood test to screen the baby's health. I celebrated completing mine with a big bowl of hot jalebis! Hope your test goes well and you treat yourself too.
It's just a simple blood test done around 15-20 weeks to screen for any spinal issues in the baby. Keep your mind positive, it is a standard screening and nothing to fear.
I know how terrifying every screening test can feel when you've had a loss. AFP test is a routine screening done in the second trimester. Sending you lots of strength and positive prayers.
I had this test during my second trimester, it's a basic screening for birth defects. It doesn't harm the baby at all. Focus on staying positive and healthy.
