Just got my first positive and my gynac appointment is next week. I have no idea what all tests they do in these 9 months, koi list type cheez? First time mom here so thoda clueless.
Tests can add up and get quite expensive, especially scans like double marker and anomaly. I'd suggest checking if your hospital offers a complete package, it helps u plan your budget better.
Having gone through this twice, the main ones you need to focus on are the double marker, the anomaly scan, and the gestational diabetes test in the 6th month. Just follow your clinic's schedule properly.
You'll have routine blood panels, urine tests, an NT scan around week 12, and the important anomaly scan in the 5th month. It’s all standard protocol to track baby’s growth, so just go with the flow.
Basically, doctors check your Hb levels, blood group, sugar, and thyroid in the first trimester. Ultrasounds are scheduled at key weeks to check the baby's development, it's very systematic.
Hey, don't stress too much about the long list of tests! In the beginning, they just do basic blood tests, thyroid, and an early dating scan to see the baby's heartbeat. Your gynac will guide u through everything step by step.
Every pregnancy is unique, so please follow only your gynac's recommended list. Depending on your health history, they might suggest some specific tests or scans, so always consult them first.
