The
article is great, and I wish I'd had it for antenatal visits. So many women
think if they have all the tests they'll have a ok baby. We pushed the
tests, even though we were supposed to be low intervention. Have the tests
if you want, as Robyn says, it doesn't mean you have to terminate. Can
anyone tell us if there is pressure following a positive
result?
