Pregnancy & Prenatal Testing
The nine months from conception to birth can be among the greatest and most
pleasurable experiences of a woman’s life. It can also be a time of extreme anxiety
and concern.
The technology of our age has transformed pregnancy and parenthood. Prenatal
testing has made almost every pregnancy a crisis pregnancy. The extensive use of
prenatal testing has created ethical and personal dilemmas for parents, the medical
professionals, and all of society.
We are just beginning to realize the trauma that technology has brought to the
childbearing experience. Much of this technology challenges society’s values about
human life and motherhood. Elizabeth Ministry and the Life & Loss Institute offer
support and resources to pregnant women.
