Does anyone know what they're looking for with first trimester blood tests?
I had my first appointment yesterday and I have to go for bloodwork (an obstetrics panel). I forgot to ask my doctor what tests they run. Does anyone know what they test for in the first trimester? TIA.

It's for STDs, rubella, RH, Heb B, and HIV.

They may also be checking for chicken pox titers.

I had the ashkenazi panel done a year ago when we started thinking about TTC. I'm glad I at least got that out of the way so maybe they don't have to take as many vials. I hope they don't take too much blood. 
Thanks everyone.

rubella and fragile egg syndrome were two others that I remember. I think a screening for CF too.

yes - this is what my doc did - she also mentioned that in CT testing for chlamydia and HIV is mandatory. my doc also checked sugars, proteins, and a few other things
eta: she also checked to make sure i had immunity to chicken pox
