Which maternal test is NOT typically performed at the time of stillbirth?

The blood glucose monitor is not typically performed at the time of stillbirth because it is primarily used for the ongoing management of diabetes, particularly in monitoring levels of blood glucose in pregnant patients with known diabetes or gestational diabetes. In the context of a stillbirth investigation, the focus is generally on identifying underlying causes or contributing factors to the stillbirth rather than managing ongoing glucose levels.

In contrast, tests like a thrombophilia panel, Hgb A1c, and CBC are more relevant during the investigation of stillbirth. A thrombophilia panel can help determine if a blood clotting disorder contributed to the stillbirth. Hgb A1c provides a measure of long-term glycemic control, which is important to assess in cases where diabetes could be a factor. A complete blood count (CBC) is a standard test that can reveal anemia, infection, or other hematological issues that could potentially contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes.
