Someone in family was asking about this and I genuinely didnt know. Matlab can it be done safely while still pregnant or u have to wait till baby is born? just want to understand how it works.
I panicked when my doctor suggested a genetic test, thinking something was wrong! But actually, it's just a normal screening test called NIPT or double marker. It is totally safe for the baby, so don't worry at all.
Yes, hospitals do a test called NIPT which is a non-invasive prenatal DNA test from the mother's blood. My doctor at the private hospital explained it checks for genetic conditions very safely. Definitely ask your doctor about it.
Yes, they can do a DNA test like NIPT through a simple blood draw. I had thyroid issues so my doctor made sure all my regular blood tests and genetic screenings were done on time. Just follow your doctor's advice.
I am in my second trimester and my doctor mentioned the NIPT blood test for genetic checking. Has anyone else here done it? I was a bit anxious about the cost and if it's safe for the baby.
Yes, NIPT is a safe DNA screening done around 10 weeks to check the baby's health. Having had a loss before, I did it to be absolutely sure and it gave me peace of mind. Please discuss with a sensitive doctor.
