How We Perform NIPT at London Pregnancy Clinic
• In this video, Molly from the London Pregnancy Clinic explains how Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is performed. Many mothers might be worried about how NIPT is performed and whether it's safe for both the baby and the mum. Here’s a step-by-step overview of the process:
Introduction to NIPT:
• Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing is a screening test.
• It helps assess the risk of chromosomal conditions in the baby.
• NIPT is completely safe for both the baby and the mother, as it only requires a small blood sample from the mother.
The Procedure:
• Ultrasound Scan with London Pregnancy Clinic to check Viability of the pregnancy. (required at LPC - other healthcare providers might not perform an Ultrasound Scan with NIPT)
• Blood sample collection starts from around 10 weeks of gestation.
• The sample is taken just like any regular blood test and is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Laboratory Analysis:
• Scientists isolate the baby's cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from the plasma.
• Advanced genetic technology, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), is used for detailed analysis.
Results:
• The test results are sent to your healthcare provider within a few days.
• It's important to note that NIPT is a screening test, not a diagnostic one.
• A positive result indicates a higher risk, not a definite condition.
• Further diagnostic testing may be recommended to confirm positive findings.
Molly provides valuable insights into this important screening procedure. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
