Default alpha fetoprotein test - is this a crucial test?

My ob casually asked me as I was preparing to leave my last appt if I wanted
to have this test done. I had never heard of it before, and I asked her to
explain. She mentioned it was to find out if the baby was at risk of spinal
cord problems, but didn't really elaborate. She seemed busy and annoyed at
the question. Is this something that everyone has done?
