I also want to know the answer to this question!!! I found the link below and midwife Cynthia Flynn answered. I think she is right. I am terrified of needles and so far from both people I know and on the internet people have treated me like I am selfish for not wanting to get one. However, the choice is up to you. I went to have a urine pregnancy test and came out having had my first blood test ever! The doctor was male and treated me like a child. I complied at the time and since then have felt totally violated. No-one seems to understand. I asked him not to test for STDs or anything unnessesary as I've only been with the one partner and he's been tested. He smirked at me and wrote out the longest list of tests. It came back with over 1 A4 page full of tests! And they stored blood for some more if it came back pregnant which it did. However, I may never know the results because I was so put off I never went back to him and never will! Anyway below is the answer: http://www.storknet.com/cubbies/pregnancy/excf40.htm It's your body, your baby and your birth, and you have the legal right to refuse any test. But in order to take care of you, your provider needs to know how you test on each of these things. If anything does not come back normal, how you and your baby are cared for will change.
