Women need to go to the hospital for prenatal check ups on time after pregnancy, which can better understand the development of the fetus. The examination items for the fetus vary throughout the entire pregnancy as it develops. So what is non-invasive examination for 16 weeks pregnant?
Non invasive examinations performed by pregnant women at 16 weeks of pregnancy. The main purpose is to conduct prenatal examinations at the genetic level of the fetus. For this examination, the development of the fetus is diagnosed through the blood of the pregnant woman, and the health status of the fetus is judged based on these examinations. Non invasive examinations for pregnant women during pregnancy are not necessarily required at 16 weeks, but can usually be performed between 12-22 weeks of pregnancy.
Pregnant women undergoing non-invasive examinations too early in pregnancy cannot determine whether the fetus's body is normal or whether its chromosomes are developing normally. But it cannot be too late. If the examination is done too late, the results will not be accurate, and other examinations will be needed to determine the development and health of the fetus. Therefore, in order to undergo non-invasive examinations, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and perform them at an appropriate gestational period.
As we all know, many examinations require fasting, and non-invasive examinations for pregnant women usually do not require fasting or holding urine. During the examination, only the pregnant woman's blood is needed for the examination. Pregnant women should rest well, eat normally, and avoid emotional tension before undergoing prenatal examinations to avoid affecting the results.
