60. ????
I would object to the idea that a physician should tell his/her patient that there could be something wrong with the patient or the patient's pregnancy if a test comes back within the normal range even if it's at the boundaries of normal. If a test comes back within the range of normal, the doctor would not have been remiss in considering it normal, as the bounds of normal have been set by years and years of scientific data. If a doctor were to do otherwise, s/he would be establishing arbitrary boundaries every time a patient's test came back at anything other than the exact mid-point on a bell curve.
