Prenatal Tests and Procedures During Pregnancy
This is a
listing of tests that may be offered during your pregnancy. Many
of these are routine. However, you have the
right to research
(even beyond your care provider!) and determine which ones are and which
ones are not right for you and your baby. You may refuse any
test for any reason. Use your BRAIN in your decision making:
B-Benefits: What are the benefits of the procedure/test?
R-Risks: What are the risks of the procedure/test?
A-Alternatives: What are the alternatives?
I-Intutition: What is your intuition telling you about this procedure/test?
N-Nothing: What would happen if you chose to do nothing?
Genetic Screening:
Oxytocin Challenge Test (Contraction Stress Test)
