That is true, but I was living in a very rural town at teh time and the hospital was not prepared to handle a baby born with a severe cardiac condition, so the drs did the test to decide if I should give birth in Albany or Boston, where medical care is more available. I didn't need to do any of that, but didn't appreciate the stress they put me through.
