Hi Claire
I would go with what the Drs recommend, that is what they are trained and paid to do... BUT at the same time maybe ask why if the swabs come back OK it is still necessary just for your peace of mind. They may be being especially cautious and maybe then it is a decision you and DH can make one way or another with well rounded advice. Thats what I would do, I usually go with the medical advice (after all thats why I go to them) but arm myself with lots of q's so I feel like I know the WHY I am doing some things. Good luck!
