Pregnant women in the dark on prenatal screening

well documented or researched."

Ms Milligan said the study showed that accepting prenatal screening did not mean soon-to-be mums were giving their 'informed' consent.

"Mothers said they didn't know what information they needed to know until after it was all over...this is a big problem and a major concern for our health care system," she said.

"I think part of the solution is clear education for mothers and support for practitioners to provide this education. It needs to be picked up by the Queensland Government and Queensland Health as an issue and policy and practice needs to change.

"This should also include law reform to make current practice more transparent."

Ms Milligan's research recently won her a highly commended award at the Queensland Health and Medical Research Conference.
