Peek A Baby London have launched their Non-Invasive Prenatal Tests (NIPT)!
These are now available alongside all pregnancy scans, offering the opportunity to dig deeper into your genetics.
What is Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing?
Whether you want to find out more about your genetics whilst in the family planning stage of life, or during your pregnancy, this is possible with NIPT testing.
NIPT is a prenatal blood test that looks at your genetics. If you are pregnant, it will also take into account the genetics of your baby, establishing whether your baby is more or less likely to be born with a genetic condition. These tests offer high accuracy with quick results sent to your GP.
Benefits of Prenatal Genetic Testing
Prenatal Genetic Testing is available for everyone, but if you have a history of genetic conditions in your family, it is an opportunity to find out whether you are a carrier or not.
If you are a carrier, this may pass to your children; for many, it can be life changing having a child born with genetic conditions. Being able to find out the chances of future pregnancies having genetic conditions can be a determining factor for many when thinking about family planning.
If your child is diagnosed with a genetic condition during pregnancy, this allows you to prepare for this and to explore possible treatment options from a very early stage.
