Advanced Prenatal Testing
Our prenatal clinic offers a comprehensive suite of advanced prenatal testing services designed to ensure the health and well-being of both mother and baby. These tests provide critical insights that help in the early detection and management of potential issues.
- Ultrasound imaging: This diagnostic procedure is used to visualize the fetus while it’s in the womb. This includes the nuchal translucency scan, which identifies the risk of Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities. We conduct these at various stages during your pregnancy primarily to monitor the baby’s development and position.
- Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT): This advanced screening test is performed around the 10th week of pregnancy. It analyzes small traces of fetal DNA in the mother’s blood to detect chromosomal conditions like Down syndrome and trisomy 18 and 13. We provide these so you can make an informed decision about your pregnancy.
- Blood tests: Routine blood tests are essential components of prenatal care. They check for anemia, blood type, Rh factor, and immunity to certain infections. They also help screen for gestational diabetes and other high-risk pregnancy complications. We conduct these diagnostic procedures so that we can implement measures to ensure your health and that your baby develops well until delivery.
- Amniocentesis: Involves taking a sample of amniotic fluid from the uterus to test for genetic conditions and neural tube defects. We recommend this to you if your health history points to the likelihood of genetic disorders. Subsequently, we’ll provide care measures that will help address these issues.
- Chorionic villus sampling (CVS): Similar to amniocentesis, CVS involves taking a sample of placental tissue to test for chromosomal conditions. It can be performed earlier in pregnancy to gain insights into your baby’s genetic health.
- Glucose tolerance test: This test is performed between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy to check for gestational diabetes. This helps our obstetricians work with you to manage blood sugar levels that may affect you and your baby’s health while in utero.
- Group B streptococcus (GBS) screening: Conducted in the third trimester, this test checks for GBS bacteria, which can be passed to the baby during delivery. If detected, we’ll help you manage this and protect your baby from infection by giving antibiotics while you’re in labor.
By offering these prenatal testing services, we ensure that every aspect of your baby’s development is monitored with precision and care. We reassure you that these tests and the guidance of our team pave the way for the best possible outcomes for your pregnancy.
