Anyone do this? I think I just wanted to vent
Â
My OB has suggested things to me, none of which I have done, but she just "suggests" in such a way that I almost feel bad if I don't do it. Â URGH! the medical model can be so frustrating.
Â
So, I was *THIIIIS close* to going in today to do my 2nd tri blood test (didnt do the first tri test or NT scan) and am still kind of debating if I should. Â I don't want to because what if the test comes back positive, then what? Amnio? I would NOT want that. Had a horrible traumatic experience the last time for my first pregnancy (turner's syndrome) and wouldn't want to stir up old feelings.
Â
Anyways, It just bugs me how she almost made me feel bad about not wanting to do the test with a "come on, lets be practical" response to me not wanting to do it, based on the next step following a positive result. Â My midwife could really care less about the screening anyways and suggests the second tri ultrasound (which is the one test that I actually WANT to do). Â
Â
Such a long rant. Anyhow, does anyone know what they are really screening in the blood test and if these things can be detected in a good ultrasound?
