Quick answer
The First Trimester Pregnancy Panel costs ₹1,699 and covers 10 tests (43 parameters). A 10-test first-visit panel for early pregnancy. Fast 8 to 10 hours first, with plain water allowed. Reports are usually ready the same day. Book home sample collection or visit any of our 45 centres.
The first antenatal visit usually comes with a long list of blood tests. This 10-test panel brings the usual ones together for women in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. It answers the question your obstetrician wants settled early: is there anything in the mother's blood that needs attention now to keep this pregnancy on a safe path?
CBC looks for anaemia, which is common in Indian pregnancies. Blood group and Rh type matter because an Rh-negative mother may need extra care, including an injection later on. Fasting sugar, HbA1c and TSH look for diabetes or thyroid problems that may have been present, unnoticed, before pregnancy, and the urine test can show infection even without symptoms. Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV and VDRL screening are advised because knowing the result early lets your doctors plan how to protect the baby.
Some pregnancy tests are not here on purpose. The double marker test is timed to the 11 to 13 week scan and needs that scan report. A glucose challenge or tolerance test needs timed draws at a centre, and a TORCH profile is ordered only when a doctor feels it is needed. Your obstetrician's own list always comes first.

How to prepare
- 1 Fast for 8 to 10 hours for the fasting sugar. If morning sickness makes this hard, speak to your doctor first.
- 2 Book a 6 to 8 AM slot so the fast stays short, and keep a snack and water ready for right after the sample.
- 3 Keep taking your prenatal vitamins and prescribed medicines as your doctor advised. A thyroid tablet can wait until after the sample.
- 4 Clean the area and collect a mid-stream urine sample in the container provided.
- 5 Tell our staff how many weeks pregnant you are, and bring your doctor's test list if you have one.

First Trimester Panel – FAQs
What is the price of the First Trimester Pregnancy Panel?
₹1,699 at all 45 Live Line centres and for home sample collection.
Which tests are included in the First Trimester Panel?
10 tests: CBC Test (Complete Blood Count), Blood Group & Rh Typing Test, Fasting Blood Sugar Test (FBS), HbA1c Test (Glycated Haemoglobin), TSH Test, Urine Routine Examination (Complete Urine Test), HBsAg Test (Hepatitis B Surface Antigen) – Rapid, HIV 1 & 2 Antibody Test – Rapid, Anti-HCV Test (Hepatitis C Antibody) – Rapid, VDRL Test.
Is fasting required for the First Trimester Panel?
Yes. Fast 8 to 10 hours first, and plain water is allowed.
How is this different from the Pre-Marital Health Checkup?
Both include blood group and infection screening. The Pre-Marital Health Checkup is meant for each partner before marriage and has a full thyroid profile. This panel is for a woman already pregnant, so it adds fasting sugar and a urine routine, and it uses TSH alone.
Does this panel confirm that I am pregnant?
No. It is meant for women who already know they are pregnant. Pregnancy is confirmed with a urine pregnancy test or a beta hCG blood test, and early dating is done with a scan. Both blood and urine pregnancy tests can be booked separately.
Why does TSH matter so much in early pregnancy?
In the first weeks, the baby depends on the mother's thyroid hormone for brain development. An underactive thyroid can go unnoticed because tiredness feels normal in pregnancy. Pregnancy also has its own TSH ranges, so ask your obstetrician to read this value rather than using a general chart.
What happens if HIV, hepatitis or VDRL comes back reactive?
A reactive screening result is not a diagnosis. It needs a confirmatory test, and false positives can occur in pregnancy. Results are confidential and shared only with you or the person you authorise. Please speak to your obstetrician soon, as there are good ways to protect the baby.
