i had one child at the "old" age of 46
and fortunately the midwifery practice respected my views--i didn't wanna know nothin'--i don't think i could deal with that knowledge
and even with the other pregnancies when younger i didn't bother with all the sonograms,exotic blood work etc etc
as i didn't even want to know boy/girl.
i like the surprise announcement.
what i am now wondering,is--will the time eventually come that IF one refuses these tests...you won't get the care or COVERAGE ? THE state will simply refuse/deny you on the grounds of liability,COSTS of care of a severely handicapped preemie etc.

Excellent question... and a frightening thought.
