Patricia E. Bauer has a post up about the newest American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) guidelines that continue to widen the scope of recommended prenatal care.
Just about a year ago, ACOG released guidelines that opened prenatal screening to all pregnant women (previously, screening was thought best for women older than age 35 or for women with any genetic predispositions.)
This month, the recommendations expanded, to include prenatal testing for any pregnancy, including CVS and amniocentesis.
As before, my thoughts are about balance, and education: now more than ever, each pregnant woman deserves information, compassion and support throughout her entire pregnancy.
