Advanced diagnostic tests for definitive answers about your baby's health
When a more detailed assessment is needed, fetal diagnostic procedures provide us with definitive information about your baby's health. These procedures help confirm or rule out conditions and are an important step in creating a precise care plan.
A small sample of cells is taken from the placenta to test for chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome, as well as certain genetic disorders. Performed between 11–14 weeks of pregnancy, CVS provides early diagnostic information.
A sample of amniotic fluid is taken to analyze fetal cells. This test can detect chromosomal abnormalities, genetic disorders, and neural tube defects. It is typically performed after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
A sample of fetal blood is taken from the umbilical cord to diagnose conditions such as anemia, infection, or blood disorders. This procedure provides rapid results and can guide immediate treatment decisions.
Procedures like chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis are performed under ultrasound guidance to ensure precision and safety. We will walk you through the entire process, explain the risks and benefits, and ensure you are fully informed and comfortable before proceeding.
