perspective -“If its truly awareness that you’re trying to raise, then a good portion of the letter should have been devoted to the sonogram and surgery in utero.”
I don’t know if you are in the medical field or not, but the OP is right on target. While US is standard during pregnancies – In- utero surgery is not. I don’t even know that it is rountinely offered even in the few hospitals that do it. And I’m sure as Obamacare (ie. -socialized medicine) comes into play -they might not do this at all in the future. It’s nice to read about technological advances in Medicine, but the way this country is going they will be doing less of these things, not more, if at all. Your criticism is totally unwarranted and in the reality of medicine in our day and age totally off base.
The part about taking a vitamin is right on target -it’s foolish for any Frum married woman looking to have kids not to take it.
The part about genetic testing is Not so Pashut and e/o should discuss this with their LOR. US in later trimesters can usually determine abnormalities and by many it’s routine, even though there are some Rabbonim that are possibly against this also.
