I didn't have it. Both my MW and I agreed that there was no reason to suspect I had it. And I was in a birth centre, so no, it's not neccesarily a requirement in a BC.
I am also Obese according to BMI, but according to my MW, I looked healthy and fit and was eating very well, so she completely ignored the BMI.
It's good to see there are still people out there that actually use their brains to think idependently and intelligently rather than jsut following protocol blindly.
Good on you for wanting to avoid unneccesary tests. I did, too and will with this pregnancy. I do understand that tests can be valuable, but I do think we are being poked and prodded to no end just because it's "routine". And just because we can.
So many women are being worried for no reason because tests come back inconclusive or as false positives. Health professionals commonly vastly underestimate the effect this can have on a woman's psyche and her attitude towards her body, her ability to birth and mother a baby and her attitude towards er unborn baby. Fear is such a destructive emotion. Yet, most people think that just by doing another test which "prooves" that everything is alright, the worries of the first test are being completely undone. Unfortunately, human emotions don't work that way...

Sorry for the rant...
