Prenatal Gut Health Test: What It Means for Mom and Baby


A prenatal gut health test can reveal how the mother’s digestion, immunity, and inflammation are influencing pregnancy and fetal development. By assessing the gut microbiome in a pregnancy-specific window, this test can illuminate how nutrients are absorbed, how immune responses are balanced, and how microbial signals may support a healthy environment for the developing baby. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that labs and brands can use to power their own prenatal testing products with a consumer-friendly experience. Explore the solution on the InnerBuddies microbiome test page to see how the test is structured and how results are presented. A prenatal gut health test centers on several key metrics that help translate biology into practical guidance. The Gut Microbiome Health Index provides a 0–100 score to summarize overall gut health, based on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. It’s complemented by detailed Bacteria abundances, showing how your profile compares to a healthy cohort for both beneficial and less favorable microbes. Bacteria functions are categorized and labeled as positive or negative, offering insight into metabolic pathways that may support or challenge health during pregnancy. A Target Group analysis can further tailor interpretation to pregnancy-specific needs, guiding how your functional pathways stack up against the healthy pregnancy profile. Interpreting the prenatal gut health test results translates into concrete next steps. Personalization is a core feature: the platform uses data from 3-day food diaries alongside stool samples to generate nutrition advice that’s uniquely suited to your gut microbiome. You’ll also receive personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations designed to align with your objectives and your individual microbial composition.
