Pregnancy Tests and Prenatal Testing

The most important questions when getting pregnant and during pregnancy are "How can I improve my fertility?",  "Am I pregnant?" and "Is my pregnancy normal?" Like most couples, moms and dads,  you want the right tests and assurances about the health of you and your unborn child. That's where prenatal testing comes in. Many, but not all, conditions can be detected before and during pregnancy. 
Prenatal testing is part of prenatal care and it usually checks the health of the fetus as well as the mother. Knowing about your baby before birth can be helpful in making decisions before and after birth.
Here's a look at the most common prenatal and pregnancy tests that are available, and many that you can expect to undergo at some point during your pregnancy.
