Prepping for a new baby with Labs

When you are ready to have another baby, it is extra important to make sure that your body is not depleted of nutrients going into the pregnancy. Being pregnant and depleted can lead to all sorts of problems for both mom and baby including an increase in morning sickness or a lack of nutrients to actually build a healthy baby and this can be the worst problem of all. We recommend getting the following testing done in advance of trying to get pregnant. Most tests are done with a blood draw, however different variations of this testing is done based on the patients needs. Micronutrient testing – analysis for vitamin and minerals MTHFR testing for Folate metabolism Hormone Testing – Estrogen, Progesterone, FSH, LH, Prolactin, Testosterone (total and free), Thyroid Panel (TSH, T3, Free T3, T4 Free T4, Thyroid Anti-body) Fatty Acid Balance Testing (Omega 3 DHA, EPA and Omega 6 ALA, GLA)
