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.
Our team provides maternal mental health screenings, emotional counseling, and referral to specialists when needed to support both physical and emotional well-being.
