Pregnancy Gut Health Test
Comprehensive Microbiome Testing for Conception, Pregnancy & Postpartum
What is This Test?
You can explore stool microbial DNA with the Pregnancy Gut Health Test. This microbiome report does not measure fertility, fetal health, nutrient levels, or pregnancy risk and is not a test for the cause of pregnancy loss. Review whether it would be useful with your obstetric clinician, and continue your usual prenatal or postpartum care.
Confirm the exact panel, eligibility, preparation, and timing in your Fullscript order and current lab instructions. Kit instructions take priority over this general summary. Do not stop prescribed medicines without your clinician's guidance. Laboratory certification does not establish that every proposed clinical use is validated.
Biomarkers Tested

Nutrient Testing Limits

Panel Scope
