Just confirmed my pregnancy and going for first gynac visit next week. I have no idea what all tests they do throughout. Can someone share the list so I know what to expect? Thoda nervous about it.
Look, there are many routine tests like CBC, thyroid, blood sugar, urine routine, and the double marker scan in the first trimester. Don't skip any of these thinking they aren't necessary. Your gynac will write a proper list, just follow it quietly for your baby's health.
In our family, elders said healthy food is enough, but my doctor insisted on routine blood tests, thyroid checks, and the essential NT scan in the first trimester. I quietly followed the doctor's schedule because modern medical tests are very important for a safe pregnancy. Trust your gynecologist's checklist.
I totally understand how overwhelming it feels when the doctor hands you a long list of tests in your first visit. You will need routine blood tests, thyroid checks, and beautiful scans like the NT scan to see your little miracle. Don't worry, it is all just to make sure your precious baby is growing perfectly.
Haan, starting me toh bohot saare tests hote hain na. Blood sugar, thyroid, routine urine aur 12th week me NT scan zaroor hota hai. Doctor se check karwa lo, woh exact list de denge according to your health.
There are quite a few blood tests for sugar, thyroid, and routine scans like the NT scan. I remember being so hungry during my glucose tolerance test because of the fasting, I kept dreaming about hot jalebis the entire time! Just carry a nice snack with you to eat right after the blood draw.
You will need blood tests for sugar, thyroid, and HIV, plus scans like the NT scan and Anomaly scan later. Scans can be quite expensive in big hospitals, so try getting them done at a reputed local diagnostic lab which is often much cheaper. Plan your budget in advance for these monthly packages.
Expect a lot of blood tests in the first trimester—CBC, blood group, sugar, and thyroid are standard. Around week 12, you'll have the NT scan and double marker, and then the big anomaly scan around week 20. Just get a package deal at a good lab to save some money and hassle.
