There are several types of prenatal tests, each serving different purposes:
- Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT): A blood test that screens for chromosomal abnormalities by analyzing fetal DNA in the mother’s blood. - Ultrasound: Imaging tests that can detect physical abnormalities in the fetus. - Amniocentesis: A diagnostic test where a small amount of amniotic fluid is extracted to test for genetic conditions. - Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS): A diagnostic test where a sample of placental tissue is taken to analyze for genetic disorders.
