FAQs
-
Prenatal diagnostics are screenings offered before birth. These go beyond routine check-ups. They aim to detect diseases or disabilities in the unborn baby and, if necessary, provide timely treatment. However, the findings are often not one hundred percent reliable. Some testing procedures also involve physical risks. Prenatal diagnostic screenings are voluntary.

Usually, procedures that are deemed medically necessary are covered by insurance. These commonly include urine and blood tests and at least one ultrasound. While genetic testing is an elective out-of-pocket expense for most US residents, many other countries offer these tests under their national healthcare system.

Prenatal diagnostic tests can, on the one hand, relieve anxiety and provide reassurance. On the other hand, however, they can also foster concern, which may be unfounded. Prenatal diagnostic findings are often not 100 percent reliable.
Abnormal results may be false and the baby may be healthy. Other diseases may be undetectable. Choosing invasive testing, which entails penetrating the woman’s body to reach the uterus, can lead to complications such as hemorrhaging, contractions, rupturing of membranes, infection, or miscarriage. Non-invasive testing through urine or blood samples does not pose a threat to the fetus.
When deciding whether to undergo prenatal testing, it may be helpful to carefully weigh your options, stay well-informed, take sufficient time, and consider the possible repercussions.
