That sounds suspicious to me... the only time multiple draws are done is if the baby may be sick, like already jaundiced, mom had diabetes and you have to watch baby's blood sugar, baby was born with an infection and you need to monitor antibiotics ect. Well babies might get one blood count and a bilirubin check with their newborn screen. They should have been telling you each time what each tube was being drawn for. You can go to the hospital records department and pull what labs were done. If none are on record, I'd be really suspicious.

Unfortunately it seems medical coercion had gotten worse during covid. And it seems real strong in the pregnancy/ new mom arena. I've had a couple go rounds with nurses where i told them whatever they were doing was unnecessary and i wasn't doing it. They get real mad when i tell them I'm a medical lab scientist and probably know better than them lol. You can absolutely refuse testing and procedures. All they need to do is make sure you understand the benefits and consequences of refusal, which can be a simple hey fyi if we don't do x then y may happen. Once they know you understand and you have no further questions they just document you refused, end of story.
