Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
If you have a high-risk pregnancy, chronic health conditions, or abnormal scan results, it’s important to consult a maternal fetal medicine specialist early.
NIPT offers a safe, highly accurate way to assess the risk of common chromosomal conditions without harming the baby.
It depends on your condition, but many high-risk pregnancies require scans every 2 to 4 weeks for close monitoring.
Many women with high-risk pregnancies can still have a normal delivery. Your care team will guide you based on your specific condition and the baby’s health.
A fetal echocardiogram is a detailed ultrasound of the baby’s heart, recommended if there’s a family history of heart defects or abnormalities seen in earlier scans.
