Just wondering if anyone has a view on this and AIBU...
DP and I gave some serious thought and discussion as to whether to have screening for Downs syndrome and for our own reasons decided that it wasn't right for us.
I had my dating scan recently and was asked if I wanted it. I said no - I had decided to decline. The doctor who did the scan said this was fine and accepted our decision.
Whilst there I agreed to have blood taken as part of a research study the hospital are doing looking for possible early indicators of pre eclampsia. On my way to have the bloods the doctor explicitly said, "the bloods are for the research, not the Down's syndrome screening."
Imagine my surprise when today I got home from work with the results of my Nuchal scan including NT measurement and blood markers in the post.
The result has come back as low risk and I am grateful for that but furious as I didn't want this test in the first place and consider it very troubling that this was carried out when I expressly said and it was perfectly understood that I was declining it.
Not sure what to do next but I am very cross. Has anyone been in a similar situation?
