It is a scanning procedure that helps in assessing the abnormalities related to chromosome and analyze the date of pregnancy. During the pregnancy test, this treatment can also help in diagnosing the physical abnormalities of the baby. There are two significant and exceptional screening process to deal with down syndrome.
It is a prime scanning process which takes place from 11 weeks to 13 weeks. This part includes a blood test and ultrasound procedure that helps in measuring PAAP-A and nuchal translucency respectively.
The second screening part involves the measurement of four pregnancy blood level of alpha-fetoprotein, estriol, HCG and inhibin A.
This scan is generally done around 18-20 weeks of pregnancy for assessing the physical structure of the baby. It is a special scanning process that helps in examining the position of the placenta. This is the best procedure to know the complete body structure of a baby before the reproduction. Most of the patients are suggested to apply this process because it is the best option to check whether the baby has any growth problem or not and also to see the level of water around the baby. If the baby is seen with any growth defect or the problem of the cervix after this scan then, further process and guidance are given by the doctor.
The main motive towards this treatment service is to check the fetal weight of the baby and to assess the growth of a baby between 24 weeks of delivery. This process helps in checking the blood flow of the baby and the position of the fetal head. While treating the pregnant women with this treatment high-frequency sound wave called Doppler ultrasound is used to measure the flow of blood through the arteries and veins. This helps in the detection of any abnormal flow of the blood in the vessel. There is nothing to worry about this treatment for pregnancy because it is regarded as one of the safest scan procedure for both mother and baby.
With the ascertainment of this service, a full genetic history of the family is interpreted. Both Pre-test and Post-test Genetic Counselling are important to check the prenatal genetics and each counselling sessions takes place for about 45 minutes to an hour. If the patients are not aware of their genetic historical background then, they are requested to bring the relatives who are well familiar with the topic. With the help of this process which also involves the collection of the family blood, a complete genetic summary and condition of the genes are analyzed. This is another best process to know about the on-going and future pregnancy in the family.
This is a medical procedure that is done after 15 weeks of pregnancy by passing a fine needle through the abdomen of a mother. Amniocentesis helps in removing the small amniotic fluid surrounding the baby in the womb. The women with amniocentesis/CVS are guaranteed to have a positive and normal result as the baby will be born without any defects. If the baby is found out to be in a disorder than the doctor will immediately tell about this to the mother and if the result is normal then, the step towards the next treatment and procedure will be done.
A Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is a process during which a screen is used to analyze the DNA with the sample of the blood that helps in predicting the chance of the Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, Patau syndrome, and DiGeorge syndrome. It is also known as the best alternative for Amniocentesis or CVS. About 10 ml of blood is taken for the blood test which is sent to the laboratory for the further testing process. NIPT is an absolutely accurate process to analyze and confirm the result of Amniocentesis or CVS.
