tests

So while I'm reading everybody's posts I'm seeing everybody talk about anatomic tests and glucose test and I have yet to hear about any of these tests from my doctor. Is my doctor not suppose to be telling me about this stuff before hand? because it just seems like I'm just suppose to show up or something cuz I'm not being told anything

Glucose test isn't done till between 24-28 weeks. Nuchal translucency ultrasound around  12 weeks to check for edwards disease down syndrome etc, about 15 weeks blood test called alpha feta protein test Morgan fine in conjunction with nuchal. If you don't have nuchal then around 18-20 weeks its the quad screen ultrasound checks save things as nuchal just in second trimester instead of first can normally be done sane time as anatomy scan also done around 18-20, checks babies growth development etc. That's pretty much the major stuff lol
