If you already have all the blood tests, then it might the cheaper to pay-as-you-go for the pre-natal care at Al Zahra. You can bring your previous tests results and the doctor will not need to repeat them. However, if you are missing any of the tests, or a long time has passed since you had them done, they will require that you have blood work done, as a possibly undetected condition can be a danger to the baby. This is true for most doctors/hospitals. I gave birth at Al Zahra in October and cannot recommend it enough! Yeah but they can't force me to have blood work done which i don't want.. Me and my husband are clear of all genetic disorders and we've been tested already. I just need an ultrasound which is all you need along with bp at your first visit in 8th week. Do u think they can force all these tests on me? Seriously the only thing i need to monitor during pregnancy is development of the baby and watching bp + blood sugar. I don't want any genetic anomalies or down syndrome testing. We have a faith in having a healthy baby as i'm a "health nut". Do they require any documentation to bring along for pay-as-u-go patients? edited by CZ_Expat on 23/12/2014 "We have a faith in having a healthy baby as i'm a "health nut"." Are you serious?? Do you realise that sounds as though you are blaming [b'>mothers[/b'> for any health issues affecting their babies? You do appreciate that things can go wrong in the womb no matter how healthy the mother and her lifestyle? And that downs' syndrome (to name just one) does not respect maternal health nuttiness or otherwise? I have no view on what blood tests you should or shouldn't have and believe they should be by agreement between you and your doctor rather than imposed (and incidentally had healthy babies myself) but your comment just struck me as really offensive to mothers whose children were born with health issues. My sister discovered that the baby had trisomy 13, and had to abort the poor baby as she had multiple birth defects associated with this problem and had no chances of survival had she taken the pregnancy to full term and would also have put her to risk. Both my sister and brother in law are perfectly healthy and there is no history of any genetic disorder whatsoever. I wish the best for you and your baby, but please don't make it sound as if women who have all these tests and ultrasounds are wasting money, or the doctors are greedy for getting all these tests done.
