Regarding some tests
Hello,
I am 16 weeks pregnant.We skipped nt scan and double marker test due to lockdown. Now the doctor suggested to do quadruple test which can we do bw 15-20 weeks. But when we went for test they said that we should do it on 19th week. And I am already taking folic acid and multivitamin till now. So my concern is:
° Is there any alternative for double marker and nt scan?
°Till what time I should continue folic acid and multivitamin?
°If I have to discontinue folic acid and multivitamin then which tablets I should start now?
Please advice me as we are very much concern about these things and can't do anything because of this lockdown.
Thank you!

You can wait for the quadruple test and also get a Level 2 Ultrasound at around 20 weeks Around now you need a shot of Tetanus if you haven't already received it and Iron and Calcium supplements need to be started Talk to your doctor about the possibilities

of course quadruple test is an alternative and it can be done from 15 to 26 as said even at 19 weeks which falls in between 15 to 20 weeks it can be done later after lockdown is over
folic acid in multivitamins can be stopped and its can be switched over to iron and calcium tablets right away you can contact directly for the prescription
