To have the test or to not have the test?

[Persephone1]

Dr Sarah Buckley talks about the UK approach being to test women with GD risk factors, rather than the "test everyone" approach in Australia, hence the lack of universal consensus on GD testing.

The risk of false positives is another reason not to have it.

Thanks guys

I think DH is on the side of the midwife (since we are paying her!) and said that he is comfortable with my decision if I dont' want to do it.

So looks like I'm not going to do it - yeeehhhaaaa...

I am planning on declining the GD test this time round. Never been out of the normal range with the other 4 & my babies just get bigger anyway.
