Detecting Fetal Abnormalities

A fertility clinic able to offer all of the latest technology is imperative for any hopeful parents or those currently expecting, considering that any conditions involving human health need to be dealt with as efficiently and safely as possible.

In terms of detecting fetal abnormalities, this has now become not only possible, but an essential consideration if you are looking for only the most thorough and professional service available to secure the best chances of optimal health for your baby and yourself.

Innermost Secrets can provide a range of fetal abnormality detection tests to expecting parents,including Down Syndrome tests such as the TripleTest or Barts Test, and certain types of pregnancy scans to determine various other ailments.

Innermost Secrets can perform Down Syndrome tests 15 weeks into the pregnancy, and around 70% of all Down Syndrome pregnancies detected using these methods. The detection of Down Syndrome and other chromosomally defect-based conditions then allows the patient to proceed with amniocentesis, whereby tissue samples of the fetus are obtained for testing.

Early pregnancy scans can also help parents to determine whether their baby has been subjected to a major abnormality, or whether the pregnancy is ectopic or the parents should expect multiple births, and exactly how many babies they should be expecting.

Such tests are only possible due to huge, on-going developments in technology, and if you would like to have such scans or tests taken, you will need to visit a hospital, agency or organisation with all of the necessary technology to competently perform these tests.

Innermost Secrets' organisation, based in Spire Cardiff Hospital in South Wales, can perform a range of these tests to detect fetal abnormalities and any other particular information about your baby,as well as provide a range of tests and treatments to determine the fertility of yourself and your partner should you be hoping to conceive.
