For me they did a papp smear, 5 tubes of blood, height, weight, blood pressure, ultrasound, std check, mammagram, cheacked heartbeat, pregnancy couisiling, and sizing of uterus. They checked me from head to toe basically. My total appointment was 3 hours. Good luck! Im not sure how much the tests run my insurance covers 100% for everything, sorry. Best wishes!

First isn't it great just to see a positive when you want a baby, I took the test just to see it and make it real.
I can't tell you about money or how much the blood test will cost.
$500 your getting off cheap. YOu will se the ob/gyn about once a month at about 12 weeks they will let you hear the heart beat and between 16 and 20 ultra sound. Make sure you are on prenatals. and try to figure out when you least period was and when you ovulated they will ask these questions.
Oh yeah first test they do all that girly exam where they poke around up there to make sure everything seems healthy.
Good Luck and Congratulations!

Next is when they call you and tell you - you guessed it - you're pregnant! That's what the blood test was for. Home tests aren't 100% - but 3 for 3 is pretty safe!
After that you go to the OB/GYN who makes sure you're OK physically to carry the baby. Then comes the first round of ultrasounds.
It can add up - you're sure to hit your deductable pretty early.
Congrats - you're gonna be somebody's mom!

this is exactly my situation. I mean exactly. I took 2 ept tests though, and both came out positive with a faint line, on 2 different days, then a day or so later i started on my period, which was 2 days late which that alone is unusual for me. So now i sit here waiting to stop bleeding so I could see what it is that is happening....I took another pregnancy test the day my period started and it came back negative, then someone said the blood could interfere with the test...i dont know what to think now....i am left feeling completely empty, because i know if you are one of the few to get your 'period" while prego, then i dont get why my last test said negative?? Let me know how your situation turns out!

Sounds like you are pregnant! This is just the beginnig of something wonderful! Relax everything will be fine. Don't worry about the price of the lab, everything you pay will go towards your deductible and then you will probably have to pay 20% depending on your plan. Congratulations!

Make sure the father knows. And, if the blood testing is positive, you can't do much. I mean..if you wanted a kid..relax!!

well, im not sure about the cost. I live in canada and health care is free here. as for whats next, you'll probably have doctors visists at regular intervals, where they will isten to the heartbeat, and ultrasounds. Its amazing when you get to see your baby and hear its heart.

Well, you are pregnant. If you are having this kid, eat right, don't smoke, don't drink. Eventually you will have the kid. You will feel sick. Your pregnancy will cost more than $500, so your deductable will be met eventually. If you don't have $500 in the bank, maybe you aren't in a position to have a kid?
