Bloodwork?

Question

So I had bloodwork done at my first appt when I was 8 weeks. I'm now 22 weeks and they haven't had to do any lab tests (blood or urine!) since. Is that normal? I know in a few weeks I will have my blood drawn for the glucose test, but that is it! I guess I shouldn't complain, but I just feel like they would want to be checking more things 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I have to do a urine test every time.

Answer

Same. I have to pee in a cup everytime but I never get results from it. I thought for sure they'd want to check more but I guess not.

Answer

Unless something flagged low like iron or you’re high risk for something they tend not to repeat bloods until your GTT.
I’m sure it’s fine

Answer

I had the same initial blood work and then a follow-up blood test for my thyroid level since I started taking meds for it but other than that, I don’t have another standard one till 24/25 weeks.

Answer

My doctor collects a urine sample every time, but i know not all care providers do. I've had additional tests since that initial round, but only because I've had some concerning symptoms.

Answer

Since the beginning of my pregnancy I done bloodwork 3 times, urine test every time I go in. Next I believe is the glucose test, I'm 22 weeks today.

Answer

Yep, that’s all I’ve had. All that’s left is a GBS swab and glucose testing later in pregnancy
