You are correct. Prenatal testing is imperfect.
The problem is that women are led to believe that it is and action is taken on
the results. It is the doctors who should be careful about making broad
statements. I recently attended a lecture on biophysical profiling given
by a doctor doing her Masters in U/S prenatal diagnosis. She stated that
the biophysical profiling was just like a snapshot in time. It could not
predict what would happen tomorrow, nor next week. Just at the moment it
was taken; obviously research is done and extrapolated to the wider group of
similar women and that is what we rely on. By the way, Gloria Lemay is a
very experienced American midwife. She may be referred to as a doula for
legal reasons, but she would put most of us to shame with her knowledge and
experience. She is also very politically savvy as she has fought for the rights
of birthing women for sooo long. She has also spent time in jail because
of her outspoken views. Do not dismiss her opinions so lightly. MM Janet am well aware of the imperfections
in technologies used around birth - but I think we need to be careful when we
make broad statements.
