Thinking ahead: What will you do with the information gained?

Before any test or investigation, whether it’s combined screening, a growth scan, or something else, ask yourself gently: Will gaining this information add value? Will it support my decisions or bring clarity? Would I act on what I learn?

Sometimes, having information without a clear purpose can create more stress than reassurance. If the results wouldn’t change your choices or bring meaningful insight, it’s worth asking why you’re seeking them. Be thoughtful and kind with yourself as you decide what truly feels right for you.
