Mum to Be DNA Test — Bloodspot collection
A Genetic Test Designed for Mum to Be
Preconception and the perinatal period provide a unique opportunity to establish the biological foundations for optimum health and development — not just for this pregnancy, but across the lifespan of your child.
​
The Mum to Be DNA Test analyses the key biological pathways that influence maternal and fetal health, identifying how your unique genetic variants affect nutrition, metabolism, detoxification, hormonal balance, and immune function. Results are translated into a personalised gene-based protocol covering diet, supplementation, and lifestyle — specific to your biology, not a generic prenatal recommendation.
Why This Test Matters
Why This Test Matters
What you eat, how you metabolise nutrients, how your body processes hormones and clears toxins — these are genetically determined biological processes that directly shape the intrauterine environment your baby develops in.
​
A woman with an MTHFR variant processes folate differently. A woman with a VDR variant needs a different vitamin D dose. A woman with FADS variants may not convert dietary omega-3 into the DHA her baby’s brain requires. These differences are invisible to a standard prenatal blood panel — but they are readable in your DNA, and they are actionable from the moment you know about them.
Biological Pathways
What the Test Analyses
The test examines eleven key biological pathways selected for their direct relevance to maternal health, fetal development, and long-term transgenerational health outcomes — providing a personalised gene-based protocol for diet, supplementation, and lifestyle that is specific to your biology.

How It Works
Simple Collection. Comprehensive Results.
A small fingerprick blood sample collected at Reborne on a specialist plastic-free collection card. No venepuncture. No extensive clinic visit. The sample is dispatched to our laboratory partner and results are returned within 18–21 days.
​
Results are reviewed by your physician and presented in a structured consultation — never forwarded as a raw report. Every finding is explained, contextualised against your health history and goals, and translated into a specific, practical protocol covering diet, supplementation, and lifestyle adjustments tailored to your genetic profile.
​
Your DNA and original sample are destroyed after 3 months. No identifiers are retained. Results are never shared with or sold to third parties.
When to Test
Clinical Applications
The Mum to Be DNA Test is relevant at three distinct stages — each offering a different but equally meaningful opportunity to use genetic insight to optimise outcomes for mother and baby.
The three to six months before trying to conceive is the highest-leverage window. Egg quality, uterine environment, nutritional status, and hormonal balance before conception all influence implantation, early embryonic development, and the biological foundation of the entire pregnancy. Testing preconception allows interventions to be in place before they are needed.
Testing during early pregnancy remains highly valuable. For a woman with MTHFR variants, this means prescribing the active form of folate rather than folic acid. For a woman with VDR variants, a precisely calibrated vitamin D dose. These are clinically meaningful differences — and they are addressable from the first trimester.
Your genetic profile does not expire with the pregnancy. The variants identified remain relevant throughout your life — influencing cardiovascular risk, hormonal clearance, metabolic function, and neurological resilience for decades. At Reborne, findings are integrated into your ongoing clinical record and inform your wider longevity programme.
Maternal Genetic Health
Is the Mum to Be DNA Test Right for Me?
The Mum to Be DNA Test is appropriate for any woman planning a pregnancy, currently pregnant, or simply wanting a comprehensive understanding of the genetic factors influencing her hormonal, metabolic, and nutritional biology.
​
No client undergoes genetic testing at Reborne without results being reviewed and discussed with their physician in a structured consultation. Every finding comes with a clear, actionable clinical protocol — not a report left without context.
