We refused all pre-natal testing for those very reasons.
All our kids are healthy and well loved regardless.
I did extensive testing with my last. I was pregnant at an “advanced age” (anything over 35) and we’d already had a child with a severe heart problem which may or may not have been congenital. The baby wasn’t thriving in the uterus, and we needed to know if there was anything that could be done.
I ended up having an amniocentesis with the knowledge that it was for preparation/discovery only.
Everything was negative, and they never figured out what (if anything) was wrong. Our baby was very small even at full term, and couldn’t regulate her temperature for a long time, but she was otherwise fine.
I was comfortable with the testing, because my doctor is pro-life, and would not have pushed me in any way.
I’d have to think twice about recommending routine testing if the doctor wasn’t pro-life.
Ditto.
