A note on these guides
Prenatal tests are highly individual — what your provider offers, and what makes sense for your pregnancy, depends on your history, gestational age, and your own preferences. These guides explain what each test is and what to expect, but they aren't a substitute for the conversation with your provider about which tests are right for you.
