I’ve never taken it before, currently entering my second trimester of my first pregnancy. I realised in the UK it’s not part of the NHS routine screening and my midwife said she can’t do it unless i have history, symptoms or at risk. Anyone has recommendations if doing it private might be worth it?

Did you try asking your GP to test for antibodies for TORCH?

no because i thought it might have been a package or if that’s an option she would’ve mentioned. Can i do that? Will they provide that?
