What are the tests they do around 28 weeks?

I got a lab slip for 'prenatal testing' to be done at 28 weeks. The Lab Tech drew 3 vials of blood and had me pee in a cup. What tests are routinely done around this time? (Besides the GTT- I refused that one) Anyway, I had a message on my answering machine today from the doctors office wanting to discuss my lab results, and of course the office was closed by the time I got the message. So, curiosity is killing me. I want to know which test I might have failed. Anyone know?

Today I had the GTT, rh/blood antibodies, and a CBC.

I had GTT, HGB/HCT, and a routine urinalysis. I didn't need the blood antibodies test since I am O+.

Hmm.. I'm O+ too, so the antibody stuff wouldn't apply. What are they checking for in the urine?
I'm thinking maybe my iron is low..it was in my last two pregnancies. I hate taking those iron supplements too. Grr..

They're probably checking for protein, leukocytes, blood and glucose in the urine.
