Antenatal screening is a series of tests and assessments that are carried out during pregnancy to identify any potential risks to the health of the mother or the baby. At our hospital, we offer a comprehensive range of antenatal screening options to help ensure the health and wellbeing of both mother and baby throughout the pregnancy. The following are some of the antenatal screening tests that we offer: Ultrasound Scans: These scans use high-frequency sound waves to create images of the developing baby in the uterus. They can help to identify the baby's gestational age, growth, and any structural abnormalities. Blood Tests: Blood tests can detect various conditions, such as anemia, gestational diabetes, infections, and genetic disorders in the baby. Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT): This is a blood test that screens for certain chromosomal abnormalities in the baby, including Down syndrome and other genetic conditions. Nuchal Translucency (NT) Scan: This is a special type of ultrasound that measures the thickness of the skin at the back of the baby's neck. An abnormal NT measurement can be a sign of certain chromosomal abnormalities. Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS): This is an invasive test that involves taking a small sample of placental tissue to test for genetic disorders in the baby. Amniocentesis: This is another invasive test that involves taking a small sample of the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby to test for genetic disorders. Antenatal screening allows us to identify potential health risks and take appropriate measures to manage them, thus reducing the risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Our team of experienced obstetricians and gynecologists works closely with each patient to develop a personalized antenatal screening plan that meets their individual needs and ensures the best possible outcomes for both mother and baby.
