Bloodwork at 1 year appt?
Did everyone either have blood taken or given a script to go get blood work done at either the 1 year appt or earlier? Was it to just check for lead or do you know what else they tested for?
DD's ped didn't mention anything about this but I see most parents mentioning it frequently -so...can you all help me with this poll.

Re: Bloodwork at 1 year appt?
We were given a script to get it done. We went to a lab. It was a lead test.
I'll be honest, I was too chicken to go..DS was 1 in Jan. and we took him in April. I should have gotten it over with in Jan. LOL.

Re: Bloodwork at 1 year appt?
We just received the script to go have the bloodwork done. Lead is one thing they check for, anemia is another

Re: Bloodwork at 1 year appt?
I was given the script at her 1 year appt, but didn't take her until around 14 months. It tested for lead, iron levels, and I'm not sure what else! I think it's pretty standard, especially the lead since it can be in your water from the pipes.

Re: Bloodwork at 1 year appt?
Yes, we got a script too. We went last week. We were waiting for the pulmonologist script too so I did not have to go twice. And TG for that!
They check
Lead
CBC

Re: Bloodwork at 1 year appt?
Hi! At DS's 9mo appt our ped gave us a slip for DS to get bloodwork done - he said we should get it done sometime b/w then and his next appt (which would be at one year) - we actually haven't done it yet but I am probably going to do it this week or next. They do it in office as well depending on your insurance. Anyway I don't remember everything he said but they check for lead, iron def., regular blood count etc...

They did it right in the office on the 1 yr checkup, not sure if I would have made it to the lab if they wold had given a script.

Re: Bloodwork at 1 year appt?
we had blood work done when he was 3 months old, but they had some concerns about his genes, nothing that would reflect on what 1 year testing would be.
We got a script and went to quest. We had to go twice because the first crew were unsure of the vein, and I would not let them stick him, brought him back another time when a nurse who was excellent with Ped bloodwork was on..she did a great job.

Re: Bloodwork at 1 year appt?
We got a script to get them done. We had DS's done at about 10 months since we were going for allergy blood tests and the doctor said just to get it all done at once rather than torture him again in a few months.
We did DD's when she was a little over 2 since they forgot about it and it wasn't until we got the script for DS and I mentioned she never had it done that we got a script for her too.

They never did any bloodwork at her 1 year, and I completely forgot to ask about it.

Re: Bloodwork at 1 year appt?
I think it was a combination. I didnt do it right away. I was to scared to see DD get stuck like that. DH took DD while I stayed home. He is the strong one. Hahah
