[Pregnancy screening in Germany].
Antenatal care in Germany is regulated by so-called national maternity health guidelines. The aim is to detect pregnancies at risk and potential high-risk deliveries in order to initiate risk-adapted treatment. The guidelines include 3 sonographic examinations as well as serological and infectious diagnostics. So far the glucose tolerance test is not integrated and needs individual indication.
