Tests and checks

With so many tests and checks performed during pregnancy, once your baby is born and well into childhood it can be difficult to know what comes next or why tests are being performed at all. All the tests are for you and your child's good, to ensure you are both healthy and growing properly.

 

In addition to the routine tests and checks performed, your baby will probably need childhood immunizations during the first three years – read here which ones are recommended, why she needs them and what alternatives there may be if you don't want your child to have them.
