The purpose of antenatal care and screening tests is to reduce the mortality of mother and baby. It is important that expectant mothers are informed in detail about screening tests during pregnancy follow-up. The rate of anomalies diagnosed in the early week is increasing with the improvement of ultrasonographic and biochemical tests. Regular screening tests separate risky pregnancies and arrange their follow-up. When double and triple tests are used together, down syndrome can be detected with an accuracy of ninety-five percent. One of the standard screening tests is diabetes screening, especially in the risky group. By evaluating these tests together, further evaluation and care can be planned for the mother and fetus.
