About the Newborn Tests
Jess & Trafenia walk through each test your baby may receive once they are born. We are speaking from our experiences with hospital birth. We don’t know if different hospitals do different things, but our experiences seem like a good starting point for preparedness. Ask your doctor if you have any questions regarding newborn tests for your baby.
Key Takeaways:
It would be beneficial to do your research on these tests so you can make your own decisions about whether or not to have them done right away
Each newborn test is optional and can be done later on down the road
The tests happen quickly and you will be tired, so make sure you and your partner are on the same page when it comes to your decisions
