Wondering about all the prenatal tests?

Part of being pregnant means taking good care of yourself to reduce the risks of having problems with both the pregnancy and the baby. Part of this prenatal care is prenatal testing. That means blood tests and, perhaps, ultrasounds and more.

What types of tests you have depend on if they are routine (done on all pregnant women), your age, your health, and if there are any factors that may contribute to problems with either your pregnancy or your baby.

Lab Tests Online has this informative page on the different types of blood tests that are and may be done on pregnant women, and it lists the reasons why they may be done.
