I asked her if she would still check my thyroid function every six months (I don't have one) as usual and she agreed. I don't do any prenatal lab work anyway, it still rubbed me the wrong way for some reason.
I've heard from several women who asked GPs about this. Even if they support homebirth, they don't want anything to do with prenatal care.
