## Prenatal Checkup Notes

-   **Fasting requirement**: blood tests (glucose, liver function, etc.) need 8-12 hours fasting
-   **Full bladder**: early-pregnancy ultrasound needs a full bladder; not needed after mid-pregnancy
-   **Wear loose clothing**: for easy exams; wear separates
-   **Bring all documents**: ID, insurance card, previous test reports
-   **Bring a companion**: key exams like the anomaly scan and glucose test are best with someone along

## Optional Paid Tests

-   **NIPT Plus**: screens more chromosomal abnormalities than the basic version
-   **Amniocentesis**: recommended for advanced maternal age or family history
