First off, I have no idea where to put this, so if anyone has any suggestions, I don't mind if it's moved.

We're taking the 12 week Bradley course, and last week she went over prenatal screenings. The gist of what she said was that there was no benefit to them for an otherwise low-risk patient. Which I don't really agree with, but whatever. Then she said something to the effect of, "because what are you going to do if it comes back that something is wrong? You aren't going to terminate." She is aware of our history, though I'm not sure how aware. I emailed her at one point saying that our last pregnancy ended in a medically necessary late-term abortion (it made sense to explain in context, I didn't just email her out of the blue about it!), and included a link to my blog, but I don't know if she read it (doubt it). I feel like at the very least she should have warned us that this was something she was going to bring up. And I think it's BS to assume that no one in the class would terminate for things that can be found on a genetic screening. I know one Bee terminated because of Turner syndrome just in the last year, so clearly I'm not the only one out there who would make that decision if it's warranted.

Also, not entirely related, but one of the articles she recommends we read says that ultrasounds are not a good idea in a low-risk pregnancy. Which again, is complete shit, because we were considered low-risk (and officially still are, even with our history), and if we hadn't had any ultrasounds, we wouldn't have known about our daughter's hydrocephalus. At the very least, had things not gotten so bad, the plan was to deliver at 34 weeks so she could get the shunt as soon as possible. That would have been up to 8 weeks that it could have continued to get worse if we didn't know we needed to deliver early. Not to mention that her head could have gotten very large and caused all kinds of complications if we had tried for a normal delivery, which we would have if we hadn't known any different. And what about cases of placenta previa, or acreta? Both can happen with no warning that might make someone think they're high risk, and are very dangerous.

The question is, do I say anything. I want to email and say, at the least, in the future if she knows she has a couple in the class for whom that could be a sensitive subject, she should warn them ahead of time. And I really want to say that I think some of it is crap, and there are times when screenings and ultrasounds can make a huge difference, regardless of whether the pregnancy is technically high risk. But I'm not sure how much I really ought to say, if anything. So what would you do?
