A few: At 35-36 weeks you'll get a test of the vagina for gbs. This is group beta streptococcus. It's a normal bacteria in the vagina, however, if you have it (and 1 in 3 do), your baby could contact a life threatening brain infection if comes in contact (1 in 200), or pulmonary problems too. If +, you'll get antibiotics in labor. Possibly growth us if lagging on fundal height? Screen for BP and protei.

Tests: I suggest instead if you have an experienced obg you are prepared to trust, he/she will tell you what tests you need rather than you providing him/her with a test 'wish-list.' this is what professional obg do - best of luck!
