Hi, I think you should go for a first trimester screening which consists of some blood tests. Also do a nuchal translucency scan between 11 to 14 weeks. These can rule out any congenital abnormality in the child. Due to increased age, chances of congenital abnormality increases in the baby. So, also do a second trimester screening and a level 2 scan at 18 to 20 weeks. Check sugar levels and blood pressure at regular intervals during pregnancy. Hope I have answered your question.
