you just found out you are pregnant, now what? Congratulations you are pregnant! The next nine months are going to be incredibly exciting for you. I am sure that you have heard the stories from other people you know about the weight gain, cravings and morning sickness. What no one ever tells you about are all tests the doctor is going to want to do on you while you are pregnant.

The goal is not to worry or upset you. To help offset that anxiety I am going to go over the most common tests performed and tell you what to expect so that you are prepared when your doctor starts talking about them.
