Every pregnant woman should regularly go to the hospital for prenatal check ups. During this process, if any developmental problems are found in the fetus, they can be promptly detected and treated. According to the current level of medicine, if you want to know whether the fetus is healthy, non-invasive DNA testing is sufficient. So, how long is the best time to do non-invasive DNA testing?
1. Non invasive DNA testing is a type of screening for chromosomal abnormalities that can detect diseases in a timely manner. It can be used clinically to screen for Down syndrome. In fact, non-invasive DNA testing can be done at any stage of pregnancy. To improve the accuracy of the test results, it is recommended that pregnant women undergo non-invasive DNA testing between 12-23 weeks of pregnancy, during which the test results are more valuable for reference.
2. Performing non-invasive DNA testing is very simple. It is a non-invasive test that does not pose any harm to the health of the fetus and the baby, and pregnant women do not need to bear any risks. The non-invasive DNA testing method is blood drawing, and pregnant women do not need to make any preparations, as long as they make an appointment for the testing time in advance.
3. If the non-invasive DNA test results show that there are genetic problems with the fetus, pregnant women should not blindly terminate the pregnancy. It is recommended to undergo a re examination through amniocentesis. If amniocentesis shows a high risk, then consider terminating the pregnancy. However, amniocentesis is an invasive examination that may lead to premature birth, so pregnant women should be cautious when performing this examination.
