Frequently asked questions
Are antenatal diagnostic procedures safe?
Routine scans and blood tests are completely safe. Invasive tests like amniocentesis carry small risks and are only recommended when the benefit is clear — performed by an experienced specialist.
What is the double/triple marker test?
Blood tests done in pregnancy that, combined with scans, assess the risk of certain chromosomal and developmental conditions.
When is amniocentesis needed?
When screening suggests higher risk of a chromosomal condition, or in certain high-risk pregnancies, to obtain a definite diagnosis.
