Prenatal Screening FAQ
What is the difference between a screening test and a diagnostic test?
A screening test calculates the risk or probability of a condition, while a diagnostic test (like amniocentesis) provides a definitive “yes” or “no” answer. We typically start with non-invasive screenings to ensure the safety of both mother and baby.
Are prenatal screening tests mandatory?
No, these tests are optional. However, we highly recommend a professional consultation to discuss the benefits of screening, as it provides valuable information that helps us tailor your prenatal care to your baby’s specific needs.
How accurate is the NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Test)?
NIPT is exceptionally accurate, with a detection rate of over 99% for Down syndrome. While it is still considered a screening tool, it offers the highest level of precision available through a simple blood draw from the mother.
When should I have my first screening test?
The first trimester screening is usually performed between weeks 11 and 14. During your first visit, we will create a personalized screening timeline so you know exactly which tests are coming up and why they are important.
