Well to me when you know what's going on as soon as possible it gives you a chance to figure out what you are going to do to take care of your self and the baby.  Some women find out in the early scanning that their baby's life is seriously compromised due to health issues and then decide to terminate or carry to full term.  There is no black and white right and wrong but there is difinitely a lot that can be gained for your own piece of mind to know what's happening to your baby and your body.  You're right some things you cannot change but for me at least I wouldn't want to be blind sided and unprepared if my daughter were going to be special needs.  It's up to you of course and it's a personal choice only you have the right to make.  I actually was never given an initial ultra sound due to errors in the booking system at my hospital so I never knew the fullest extent of my daughters health.

Well you might be able to refuse the scan.  The purpose is to check to make sure your baby is thus far okay and healthy.
