You don’t have to do any recommended tests if you don’t want to — it’s your choice.</a> <p>Many problems can be detected before your baby is born, but not all of them. There are 2 main types of test offered during antenatal care:</p> <ul> <li>screening tests, which will let you know if your baby has a higher risk of having a problem, but can’t confirm the problem for sure</li> <li>diagnostic tests, which show whether your baby has a problem, with a much greater level of certainty</li> </ul> <div class="cont_layout-container"> <div class="cont_layout-col-left-large"> <p>Your check-ups and tests may be done at a hospital, doctor’s clinic or somewhere else in your community, depending on whether you’re having your baby in a <a href="/having-a-baby-in-hospital">public</a> or <a href="/public-vs-private-care-during-pregnancy">private</a> hospital, <a href="/having-a-baby-at-a-birthing-centre">a birthing centre</a> or <a href="/home-birth">at home</a>.
