Fourteen weeks of pregnancy is an important stage for the rapid growth of the fetus, and it has already taken shape. From the specific time of pregnancy, it is already mid pregnancy, at which point prenatal check ups are needed. But many people are not very clear about what specific tests can be done at this time, such as non-invasive testing. So, can non-invasive treatment be done at 14 weeks of pregnancy?
This non-invasive examination can be performed at 14 weeks of pregnancy. It should be noted that non-invasive examination belongs to chromosome testing, which usually involves extracting peripheral blood from the mother's body for testing, mainly to detect the fetus's genes. However, the accuracy of non-invasive examination is not very high, about 90%, so attention should be paid to the examination, otherwise misdiagnosis may occur.
Non invasive testing, which many people are not very familiar with, can also be called non-invasive DNA testing. Another test is generally suitable for elderly pregnant women, that is, pregnant women over the age of 35. This non-invasive DNA test can determine the risk of Down syndrome in fetuses. If the risk of non-invasive examination is relatively high, amniocentesis can be performed.
It should be noted that as mentioned earlier, this examination is generally only required for pregnant women over the age of 35. From the specific timing of the examination, the non-invasive examination starts at 12 weeks of pregnancy and continues until 26 weeks of pregnancy. In addition to older pregnant women, there is another situation that requires non-invasive examination, which is if there are abnormalities in the fetus detected by ultrasound.
