I love the test and how simple it is yet you get a great amount of info AND recommendations on how to improve your health. I will recommend this to my clients, family and friends.
I knew gut health is really important for overall health, but had no idea that the mom’s microbes had such a huge role to play in the baby’s gut! I made some dietary changes and took a vaginal probiotic after doing Tiny Health’s gut and vaginal tests to prepare for my birth.
After taking Tiny Health’s vaginal and gut tests and being more aware of early-life microbiome health, I decided to attempt a VBAC instead of a planned c-section, and seeing the results encouraged me to continue exclusively breastfeeding my baby.
Frequently asked questions
What does a Tiny Health test look for?
- A full breakdown of what we find in your vaginal microbiome
- Your vaginal CST, or community state type
- Whether you have the protective bacteria (like Lactobacillus) that keep the vaginal tract healthy and that you’ll want to pass to your baby at birth
- Condition Biomarkers, which may give you clues about what’s happening in your body and the risk for specific conditions
- Associations between any symptoms you might have and your microbiome
- Practical tips and recommendations that are unique to your test results
- A personalized note from Tiny Health’s microbiologists and immunologists
Should I take a vaginal health test during pregnancy?
While many expectant mothers are encouraged to take a prenatal vitamin and DHA during pregnancy, less is often said about vaginal health, even though it plays a key role in a healthy pregnancy and birth.
The microbes you live with have a substantial impact on your own health and on the microbes your baby inherits at birth, a window commonly referred to as a baby’s first 1,000 days.
A healthy vaginal microbiome, rich in protective Lactobacillus, is associated with a lower risk of pregnancy complications and helps seed your baby with beneficial bacteria during a vaginal birth.
Timing matters. We recommend testing in the first trimester and again in the third trimester so you have time to take action if needed.
Does my microbiome affect my fertility or preterm birth?
Yes. The vaginal microbiome plays an important role in both fertility and in supporting a full-term pregnancy.
Studies comparing people who delivered preterm with those who delivered at term show microbiome differences that may be associated with preterm birth or early rupture of membranes.
Preterm deliveries are more often linked to lower levels of protective Lactobacillus and higher levels of bacteria frequently associated with bacterial vaginosis.
For example, high levels of Lactobacillus crispatus at 16 weeks of pregnancy have been associated with protection against preterm birth, while Lactobacillus iners shows up more often in those who deliver preterm.
