Fetal Health & Genetic Screening: Ensuring the Best Start for Your Baby
Pregnancy is an exciting and transformative time, but it can also bring concerns about your baby’s health. At our clinic, we offer fetal health and genetic screening services to give you peace of mind and ensure the best possible outcome for both you and your baby. These specialized assessments help us monitor fetal development and detect potential risks early, so we can take action when necessary.
Fetal Anatomy Scan: A Detailed Look at Your Baby’s Health
A fetal anatomy scan is a comprehensive ultrasound performed around the 20th week of pregnancy. This scan allows us to assess your baby’s development and check for any abnormalities or concerns. During the scan, we examine the baby’s organs, bones, and overall growth to ensure everything is progressing as expected. This important assessment helps identify issues that may not be visible in earlier scans, allowing for early intervention if needed.
Genetic Screening Pregnancy: Understanding the Risks
Genetic screening during pregnancy is a set of evaluations that helps identify the risk of certain genetic disorders that may affect your baby. These evaluations can provide valuable information about the likelihood of conditions such as Down syndrome, trisomy 18, and other chromosomal abnormalities. By undergoing genetic screening, you gain insight into potential risks, enabling you to make informed decisions about your pregnancy and next steps.
Amniocentesis Specialist: In-Depth Testing for Genetic Disorders
Amniocentesis is a diagnostic procedure that involves taking a small sample of the amniotic fluid surrounding the baby. This test is typically performed between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy and can detect genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and spina bifida. As an amniocentesis specialist, we ensure that the procedure is carried out safely and with the utmost care. It provides accurate results, giving you clear answers when you need them most.
Sex Determination Scan: Knowing Your Baby’s Gender
Many parents are eager to find out whether they’re expecting a boy or a girl. Our sex determination scan can provide an accurate answer early in your pregnancy. While it’s typically done around 18-20 weeks, the scan also offers a chance to monitor the baby’s overall health, giving you an opportunity to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
CVS Pregnancy Test: Early Genetic Evaluations
The CVS (Chorionic Villus Sampling) pregnancy assessment is another option for detecting genetic disorders early in pregnancy. Typically performed between 10 and 13 weeks, this assessment involves taking a small sample of tissue from the placenta. It provides early and accurate genetic evaluation, helping you understand any potential risks to your baby’s health.
Nuchal Translucency Scan: Early Screening for Genetic Disorders
The nuchal translucency scan is a non-invasive test that measures the fluid at the back of your baby’s neck. This scan, typically performed between 11 and 14 weeks, is used to assess the risk of genetic conditions like Down syndrome. It’s an important early screening tool that can help identify potential concerns and guide further evaluation if necessary.
