This is haunting me 😥 I thought I was having a perfect healthy pregnancy and was hoping for a home birth. Without the 32 week ultrasound that unexpectedly diagnosed a serious problem with Marnie's brain, we would quite possibly both have died.

I accidentally ventured into a world where people are against ultrasound in pregnancy and good god some of you *really* want us to return to living like medieval peasants huh

Sometimes my job and my other interests intersect. This is a 1947 sci-fi novel called France V Robots.
