Digital cervical examination (if indicated, starting > 36 weeks)

Papanicolaou (Pap) test (if patient is due for cervical cancer screening)

Pelvic ultrasound

Often done in first trimester if needed to estimate gestational age

Anatomy survey at 18 to 22 weeks

Counseling about testing for genetic and anatomic abnormalities; if desired, genetic carrier testing of parents is done prior to pregnancy or in the first trimester, and noninvasive (blood tests and/or ultrasound) and/or diagnostic testing (chorionic villous sampling or amniocentesis) are done in the first and/or second trimester

Testing for neural tube defects, if desired

Ultrasound

* To prevent alloimmunization, pregnant patients with a Rh-negative blood type should receive anti-D immune globulin injection at either 28 weeks or 28 and 34 weeks.

† Rubella and varicella titers are measured unless women have documentation of vaccination or previous infection, thus confirming immunity.

‡ Not required in patients with GBS bacteriuria earlier in the current pregnancy or those who gave birth to a previous neonate with invasive GBS disease (intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis is already recommended for these patients, so a third trimester vaginal-rectal swab is not necessary). 

CBC = complete blood count
