Thanks for everyone's answers (even though I disagree with most posters answers re the safety of blood tests for pregnant women i.e. just as they've confirmed certain vaccinations can cause autism [just research various court judgements], most doctors or big pharma won't recognise the link yet).

But especially a big thanx to the people that expressed kindness & empathy. It means a lot. I'll keep looking for alternatives. Perhaps, this isn't the forum for exploring that option or non-traditional birthing methods etc.

Blessing to All.
