Near the end of your second trimester, you will probably be given a glucose tolerance test, which checks for gestational diabetes. Pregnant women are at risk of developing this special kind of diabetes, which comes on during the pregnancy and goes away afterward. Youll be given a sweet liquid to drink. About an hour later, youll have blood drawn to check the glucose level

During your pregnancy, blood tests may be needed for other reasons. You doctor or midwife may need to check your kidney or liver function, re-check you for anemia, or look for other problems.
You can also expect to have other kinds of routine tests, including urine tests, ultrasounds, and gynecological exams.
Talk with your health care provider to find out exactly what tests you need.
