Are there any 3rd trimester tests for normal pregnancies?
Just the growth sono to monitor growth, right?
I believe my obgyn said no more tests but I've heard of people getting an HIV test and a strep test too.

You do th GBS test @ about 36 weeks and then, depending on where you are delivering you may or may not have a 2nd HIV screening done. HTH

I believe everyone will have the strep b test in their 3rd trimester!
i did have a growth sono (belly was measuring small) but I do not believe every doctor will do them or that all insurance policies will cover one

It's group B strep. If you test positive, you have to be given antibiotics when you go into labor.

Is this another blood test?
I hate needles.  You'd think I'd be used to it by now but I hate being pricked.

No. It's a quick swab of the vaginal and rectal area. It's usually done when you get your first internal (around 36 weeks).
