Maternal Fetal Spec: You and your partner can test through a simple blood test. The baby may be tested on a limited number of things through moms blood. More advanced testing would require an amniocentesis or chorionic villi sampling(more invasive tests). What your primary dr can't order, a maternal fetal specialist can do, on referral.

Varies: Depends on the reason for the test, but usually requires drawing blood.
