Gathering of Information

After reading through our Obstetrics package we've ended up with some of our questions answered, but mainly a new set of questions to look into. Fortunately Inova has some great resources and a customizable calendar that shows relevant dates during the pregnancy.

Now all we have to do is a ton of paper work and review the next set of tests that will be done at the next appointment:

• CVS Chorionic Villus Sampling - A genetic test to determine the presence of chromosomal problems.
• AFP+ Maternal Serum Screening - A test to determine risks of low birth weights and certain types of birth defects (spina bifida, Down syndrome, etc).
