Came to know that I am pregnant few days back. The same day doctor took sample of blood and urine for test. I want to know what test will be required during this period of 9 months. Please share which all tests are really required.
Some of e tests that I can list are
1. Urine test for protein on every visit to doctor.
2. Regular Blood Pressure check
3. Nuchal Test for Downs Syndrome done in 10-12 week
3. Triple Screening Test done during 15-20 weeks of pregnancy.
I remember these as my sister recently went through these.
Kick Count Test is also done in the late pregnancy to check baby's movement.

A regular Urine test is done to check glucose and albumin.
Pap Smear is also done in the first trimester to detect abnormal cervical cells, inflammation or STDs.
