    First trimester scan for chromosomal and structural abnormalities. This is done at 11w6d to 13w6d.
  • 3- STS
    Second trimester scan, also called a genetic scan, checks for chromosomal markers, structural abnormalities of the baby including a detailed evaluation of the fetal heart. This is done at 20-23 weeks.

  • 6- Serum Biochemistry
    Specialized blood testing that checks for fetal hormones in the maternal blood that alert us to abnormalities.
  • 7- NIPT
    This is non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), the newest non-invasive test that allows us to obtain genetic fetal material from the mother's blood by a simple blood draw, when she is in a high risk group, in order to analyze and determine the risk for specific genetic disorders, namely trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome), trisomy 18 and and trisomy 13, that may affect her baby. This can be done in the third month of pregnancy, starting at 10 weeks.
  • 8- Cervical Length
