My gynac mentioned CVS test in my last visit and i just nodded but didnt fully understand. Came home and got more confused. Can someone explain what it actually is and why its done?
I honestly didn't have to go through a CVS test myself, so I don't want to give wrong info. I've heard other moms talk about it, but your doctor is the best person to explain it.
It's a test to check for any genetic issues early on. Just like I had to do regular tests for thyroid, make sure you follow up with your doctor for this too.
CVS is a test done early in pregnancy to check the baby's chromosomes. Since I had PCOS, I was always extra cautious, so please discuss the risks and benefits clearly with your doctor.
My brain is too tired to explain the medical terms, but it's basically a test to check baby's health from the placenta. Ask your doctor, they will explain it without giving you a headache like Google does!
I know reading about these tests can make you so anxious and scared. Take a deep breath, it's just a diagnostic test done through the placenta to ensure baby's health.
