[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 176755, member: 1697"] Our ob gyne is a hi risk one... easy child was only gently offered many tests....doctor mostly said no need if you are not inclined to take action pending results. BUT we got a bill already for the first prenatal visit, and YIKEs.....it was several thousands of dollars of all kinds of tests I had never heard of, all via blood.....and excluding any "specialized" tests. Also no genetic testing as easy child had some genetic testing and we had family genetic counseling at Shriners a few years ago. I was a little taken aback by this bill for first prenatal visit, becuz it does not yet include the um, charge for the prenatal care and delivery at all..... easy child also had a special sonagram, due to her illness...so it was much more expensive than typical sonogram, as well, but it is still so early, I am not at all sure how much would be apparent yet. (she was 8 weeks for sonogram, she is now 9 weeks preg) My youngest is 13 and it amazes me how much is so very different already. Personally with my pregs, I wanted to know as little as possible in advance. But thats just "me" I think I was afraid if there was "bad"news, it might make the preg more difficult and labor and delivery more difficult. And I guess I was just trusting if there was any urgent needs at time of delivery, it would be handled? I guess I think this is just a very personal thing for each couple to decide for themself. I am sending you good luck and best wishes. [/QUOTE]
