GENETIC SCREENING IN PREGNANCY
Angel's Hope Clinic
Prenatal testing may be offered to women during pregnancy to
determine if the fetus has a possibility to be born with a genetic condition or birth defect.
Who is offered this Testing?
All pregnant women, regardless of age, have the option to undergo prenatal testing.
However, as women age, the chance of having a baby with a chromosomal abnormality increases.
So the age of the mother is the most common reason for prenatal testing.
Other reasons that a woman may be offered prenatal testing include:
-Family history or a previous child with a genetic condition
-Parents who are known carriers of a specific genetic condition
-Abnormal ultrasound findings and screening test results.
