I am the mother of two children, a daughter and a son. At the age of 37, I became pregnant with my second child, a boy. From the beginning, my husband and I knew I would opt for a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT). After experiencing a miscarriage during my first pregnancy, it was crucial for us to gather as much information as possible about the health of our baby. We wanted to be fully prepared if our child faced any potential chromosomal conditions. The test was easy to take, and we received the results quickly, which thankfully came back normal. I believe gathering information during pregnancy is essential, and this screening provided the peace of mind we were seeking.
Finding Peace of Mind with Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing In my two subsequent pregnancies, we opted for NIPT. Given our experience with trisomy 18, we appreciated that NIPT could be done early in the first trimester, was non-invasive, and posed no risk to the pregnancy. It allowed us to prepare for any potential chromosomal conditions without the need for more invasive testing. Thankfully, both tests showed our children were unlikely to have trisomy 21, trisomy 18, or trisomy 13. Having NIPT during those pregnancies eased our anxieties and provided peace of mind.
NIPT Provided Clarity and Confidence I know firsthand how valuable a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) can be in helping parents prepare for their babies. While pregnant with my daughter, I underwent standard blood testing along with a nuchal translucency ultrasound. The results showed my baby had a high chance of being born with Down syndrome, which left me very anxious and seeking more information. The follow-up options presented to us didn’t provide the reassurance we needed. I'm happy to share that my little girl is now four years old and thriving. I’m so glad I took the initiative to explore NIPT and gain peace of mind. I would encourage other expectant moms to learn about prenatal screening options early in their pregnancy to get the answers they need.
Genetic information through DNA fragments called cell-free DNA (cff-DNA) is released from the placenta into the pregnant woman’s bloodstream where it is mixed with her own genetic information. After carrying out an ultrasound examination to determine the length of gestation (how far along the pregnancy has progressed) and to see the number of foetuses, you can carry out the blood test which must be sent to the laboratory. When analyzing the blood sample, the mixture of DNA from the mother and the child is looked at to determine whether there is a high or low risk of the child having certain chromosomal abnormalities.
It is your choice whether you want to have the NIPT completed or not. It is important to remember that you may be faced with difficult choices if the test shows a high risk , and you must think this through in advance. The vast majority of women will give birth to healthy children, but approx. 5% will have sick fetuses. After you turn 35, the likelihood that the child will have Down syndrome and other conditions increases, and therefore a public NIPT offer is being created for pregnant women >35 years of age at term. We will help you through the process and give you a safe framework for whatever choice you wish to make.
We attach great importance to individual guidance and providing good information about NIPT. Do you have any questions about the test, or just want to talk to us beforehand?

Yes, NIPT is completely noninvasive and poses no risk to your baby. It only requires a simple blood draw from the mother.
NIPT screens for common chromosomal abnormalities, including Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (trisomy 13). Some tests may also check for other genetic conditions, depending on your healthcare provider’s recommendations.
Yes, in addition to screening for chromosomal abnormalities, NIPT can also determine your baby’s gender, if you wish to know.
NIPT offers a high degree of accuracy in detecting chromosomal abnormalities, significantly reducing the need for further invasive testing.
