Prenatal testing -handout

[BeautyBirth]

So i love having kids. I just want to start off with that.
My son got a hold of my binder that i use for photo copies and such. And i have one handout in there that i don't have saved on the computer yet of course. He scribbled all over it with pen! I just went to copy it for a client i'm meeting with on saturday. Does anyone have one that gives the list of difference prenatal tests and the pro's and con's of each? I have a client who had a midwife for her 1st and has to have an OB this time because they can't afford and MW, and she's at a loss with all the testing options cause they weren't an issue before.
Thanks!

Hmm, I, the handout queen, don't have one. Alas.

Which tests exactly? I could help you search for some good websites.

The one i have starts off explaining how safe birth is, "Birth is as safe as life gets."
The talks about AFP, US, GBS, GTT. Mind you i know that there are other tests, and i have lots of seperate information on all of those things. But i find condensing it down into a few paragraphs about each makes it easier for moms to absorb. Then we can talk about it and if there are more questions after that i pull out the big guns

I don't have one, but I'd be tempted to sit down and retype the handout before the prenatal if it were me. I know

LOL, that might be what i'll end up doing. Just wanted to put it out there and see if anyone had one similar.

Hmm...sounds like a very interesting handout. I would love one. Maybe we can find a copy somewhere.
