Thanks. I didn't know there were labs that would take personal requests, so to speak. Yeah, I know I'd want a quant. I've had plenty in the past. The midwife should be able to order one since she's a CNM.

She does work with a lab (the guy comes out to her office, I passed him once on my way into an appointment) so yeah, she totally should be able to do a quant. test for you.
