Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong. Unfortunately, due to the social legitimization of "abortion" (the wanton murder of children), many medical "professionals" feel not only empowered but strongly motivated to quickly bring up the very most negative possibilities, no matter how remote. In fairness, much of this is motivated (at least here in the USA) by an absolutely visceral terror of lawsuits and of the subsequent desire to lay out, in the most stark and unvarnished detail, the worst-case scenario as being not only a possibility but an extremely likely probability. This removes them, or at least insulates them somewhat, from possible legal charges of "failure to adequately warn the patient of the consequences."
That being said, a nurse - midwife is not licensed to provide medical diagnoses, only nursing diagnoses. That is the realm of an MD or Nurse Practioner. From your description, it sounds as though this person was acting outside of her standards of practice, something that is rigidly adhered to by all healthcare workers who have even the most passing, vague interest in the concept of professionalism. It sounds also that she may have been motivated by a militant-feminist "empowerment" agenda that moved her to steer you into the murderous clutches of Planned Parenthood for "professional prenatal care"
My great hope is that everything turned out well for you and your family despite the efforts of this unprofessional and possibly criminal idiot.

In this case, the TEST was right, the NURSE-MIDWIFE was wrong due to her inability to count.

I’m not a medical professional, nor am I sufficiently familiar with the field to comment accurately on what you’re saying. She was a nurse-midwife, but may have also been a nurse-practitioner. I remember that she did have a Ph.D., and that not all the nurse-midwives in the practice had one.
However, it seemed standard practice that one of the mid-wives would provide the results from the AFP test. I know that the laws governing nurse-midwifery vary somewhat from state to state, and I don’t know what specifically is legal or standard in Maryland versus other states.

That wasn’t my impression at all. I think that she was just plain old dumb. Stupid. Not very bright.
The practice's senior-most member was quick to make the correction in diagnosis once she was alerted to Moron's mis-reading of the test results.
