Pregnancy Blood Test in Delhi — Antenatal Profile, From ₹800

The antenatal profile / pregnancy blood test starts at ₹800 in Delhi on HealthVas. Six NABL-accredited partner labs offer this package — DRX ₹800, HealthFirst ₹850, Dr Khanna Pathcare ₹999, Thyrocare ₹1,100, CRL Diagnostic ₹1,200, Niramaya ₹1,699. All six include free home sample collection.

32 parameters across 4 profiles: Complete Hemogram with ESR (26 parameters — anaemia, infection markers, platelets), Viral Markers panel (HIV 1 & 2, Hepatitis C antibody, HBsAg, RPR/VDRL — 4 parameters), Blood Grouping ABO with Rh Type (1 parameter), and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH, 1 parameter).

At your first antenatal visit, typically between weeks 6 and 12 of pregnancy. Some gynaecologists order it at the booking visit (when pregnancy is confirmed); others at the first scheduled antenatal appointment. Earlier is better — viral marker screening guides preventive measures that work best when started early.

No. A urine pregnancy test (the home kit) detects hCG hormone to confirm pregnancy. The antenatal profile is a clinical screening blood test ordered after pregnancy is confirmed — it screens for conditions that affect pregnancy outcomes (anaemia, viral infections, blood group, thyroid). Both have a role: home test confirms pregnancy, antenatal profile guides care planning.

No. Beta hCG (used to confirm pregnancy and quantify hCG levels) and the Double Marker / Dual Marker test (PAPP-A and Free Beta-hCG, done at 11–14 weeks for chromosomal screening) are separate tests not included in this package. They can be booked individually on HealthVas — the antenatal profile basic is the foundation panel ordered at the first visit.

HIV transmission from mother to baby during pregnancy or delivery can be largely prevented when the mother's HIV status is known and managed. Antiretroviral treatment during pregnancy and specific delivery protocols dramatically reduce transmission risk. Universal antenatal HIV screening is recommended in every Indian and international pregnancy guideline for this reason.

HBsAg detects current Hepatitis B infection. If the mother is HBsAg positive, the baby can be given Hepatitis B immunoglobulin and vaccination immediately after birth — this prevents transmission in the vast majority of cases. If negative, no specific intervention is needed beyond standard care.

Blood Group and Rh Type are critical for two reasons. First, knowing your group prepares the medical team in case any blood transfusion becomes necessary during pregnancy or delivery. Second, Rh-negative mothers carrying Rh-positive babies need specific monitoring and may require anti-D immunoglobulin to prevent complications in current and future pregnancies.

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) screens for hypothyroidism, which is increasingly common in pregnancy and affects fetal brain development if undiagnosed and untreated. Even subclinical hypothyroidism — where TSH is mildly elevated but T3/T4 are normal — benefits from treatment in pregnancy. Universal antenatal TSH screening is now standard.

Fasting is recommended (8–12 hours) but not strictly required for the core antenatal markers. Fasting allows the lab to add glucose or lipid markers if your gynaecologist has requested them alongside this panel. Plain water is allowed during fasting. In early pregnancy, prolonged fasting can worsen morning sickness — book a morning slot so you can eat right after.

Yes. All six partner labs offer free home sample collection across Delhi — South Delhi, North Delhi, East Delhi, West Delhi, Central Delhi, subject to pincode serviceability. Home collection is particularly useful in pregnancy when reducing travel and waiting time matters.

Reports are delivered within 12 hours by all partner labs in Delhi. Reports are digital — they reach you on WhatsApp and email. You can share them with your gynaecologist immediately at the next antenatal visit.

Yes. Mention morning sickness when booking — the phlebotomist can plan timing around your symptoms. For some women, mid-morning works better than first thing. Hydration is important, and the test takes only 5–10 minutes once the phlebotomist arrives.

A positive screening result is followed by confirmatory testing — it is not a final diagnosis on its own. Your gynaecologist will arrange confirmatory tests and connect you to specialist care if confirmed. The point of universal screening is precisely to identify these conditions early when preventive treatment is most effective.

No. You can book this package directly on HealthVas without a prescription. However, the report should always be reviewed by your gynaecologist as part of antenatal care — clinical interpretation and follow-up planning need a doctor.

The same package is priced differently across labs in Delhi (₹800 to ₹1,699), and accreditation depth varies — some labs hold NABL only, others add ISO, NABH, and CAP. For viral marker testing especially, accreditation depth matters because immunoassay-based tests need strict procedural standardisation. Comparing on HealthVas lets you pick on price or accreditation in one view.
