Post Natal Health Check (in-clinic)
This in-clinic postnatal health screen is designed to assess key factors influencing your health after giving birth, including hormone balance, thyroid function, iron levels, inflammation markers, and nutritional status. The test panel includes measurements for important hormones such as Oestradiol, Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinising Hormone (LH), Progesterone, Prolactin, and Testosterone. It also covers thyroid function tests like Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free T3, and Free T4, alongside iron status markers such as Ferritin and Iron, and essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamin D, Magnesium, Calcium, Vitamin B12, and Folic Acid. Additionally, the panel includes C-Reactive Protein (CRP), an important marker for inflammation, which can be crucial for understanding postpartum recovery and potential inflammation.

- Haemoglobin: Measures the amount of oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells.
- Haematocrit: Evaluates the percentage of red blood cells in your blood, indicating potential anemia.
- White Blood Cell Count: Monitors immune system activity, detecting infections or inflammation.
- Calcium: Essential for bone health, particularly important post-pregnancy to support recovery.
- Albumin: A protein that helps maintain fluid balance and transport hormones and nutrients.
- Iron: Iron levels are crucial for energy and recovery, especially post-birth.
- Folic Acid: Supports red blood cell production and overall recovery postpartum.
- Vitamin B12: Important for nerve health and energy, supporting the body's postnatal recovery.
- Vitamin D: Aids in calcium absorption, crucial for both bone health and immune function.
- Ferritin: A measure of your body's iron stores, critical for recovery after pregnancy.
- Iron: Assesses iron levels to detect any deficiencies, especially important post-birth.
- Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC): Indicates how well your blood can transport iron.
- Transferrin Saturation: Evaluates the percentage of transferrin that is bound to iron, an important measure for anemia.
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Regulates thyroid function, a common concern postpartum.
- Free T3 (Tri-iodothyronine): Active thyroid hormone affecting metabolism and energy.
- Free T4 (Thyroxine): A precursor to T3, crucial for overall thyroid function.
- Anti-Thyroglobulin Antibody: Tests for autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto’s, often triggered postpartum.
- Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody: Helps diagnose autoimmune thyroid disorders, which can impact health post-pregnancy.
- Oestradiol: The primary estrogen hormone, important for reproductive health and mood regulation.
- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Regulates ovarian function, important for hormone balance postpartum.
- Luteinising Hormone (LH): Works alongside FSH to regulate reproductive health and hormone levels.
- Progesterone: Helps maintain uterine lining and is crucial for hormone balance after childbirth.
- Prolactin: Responsible for milk production and can influence reproductive health post-birth.
- Testosterone: Plays a role in libido and energy levels, important for mood and wellbeing postpartum.
- Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG): Binds to sex hormones, controlling their availability in the body.
- Free Androgen Index (FAI): Measures the level of active testosterone in your body, key for hormonal health post-pregnancy.
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP): A marker of inflammation that helps detect infections and recovery progress post-birth.
