Secure a Healthy Pregnancy with NIPT Testing

Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is a revolutionary screening method that can significantly contribute to ensuring a healthy pregnancy. Unlike traditional methods, the Nipt test in the UK is a safe and reliable way to screen for chromosomal abnormalities early in pregnancy. This test utilizes cell-free fetal DNA circulating in the mother's blood to detect potential genetic concerns with high accuracy.

Here’s how NIPT testing can help:

Early Detection of Genetic Conditions: NIPT analyzes fragments of fetal DNA in the mother's bloodstream to detect genetic conditions such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21), trisomy 18, and trisomy 13. These conditions can affect the health and development of the baby. Detecting them early allows parents to make informed decisions about their pregnancy and prepare for any necessary medical care or interventions.

Accuracy and reliability: NIPT has a high accuracy rate for identifying genetic conditions, typically around 99% for Down syndrome. This accuracy provides expectant parents with confidence in the results, reducing unnecessary anxiety and potential follow-up testing.

Non-Invasive Nature: One of the significant advantages of NIPT is that it is non-invasive. The test requires only a simple blood draw from the mother, posing no risk to the fetus. This contrasts sharply with invasive procedures such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS), which carry a small risk of miscarriage.

Early Peace of Mind: NIPT can be performed as early as 10 weeks into the pregnancy, providing early peace of mind for expectant parents. Early detection allows them more time to consider their options and plan for the future.

Who Should Consider NIPT?

NIPT is recommended for pregnant women who are at higher risk of having a baby with a genetic condition. This includes:

Women over the age of 35.

Those with a previous pregnancy are affected by a genetic condition.

Couples with a family history of genetic disorders.

Women with abnormal ultrasound findings.

Those with positive results from other prenatal screening tests.

Women with certain medical conditions, such as diabetes.

Wrapping it up, NIPT testing plays a crucial role in securing a healthy pregnancy by providing accurate and early detection of genetic conditions, all while being non-invasive and safe. For expectant parents seeking peace of mind and the best possible care, NIPT testing at Concepto Diagnostics is the right choice.

You Need to Know about The Hormonal Imbalance Test

There are certain problems related to hormonal imbalances in our body and it is very important to know about them by doing a test. Therefore, it is advised to get a hormonal imbalance test at a Health Care Solutions UK . Many people don’t know this and they face a lot of problems. So it’s better to get it tested beforehand. Additionally, both of these imbalances can result in signs including exhaustion, mood swings, digestive problems, and unexplained weight gain or loss. Because of this, it's crucial to preserve the balance of our endocrine system as a whole to keep it functioning properly. You need to avail yourself of the Harmony Prenatal Test UK from Concepto Diagnostics.

These are the main signs of hormonal imbalance suggested by the Diagnostic Clinic in the UK that you should watch out for.

Fatigue

Everybody gets tired occasionally. But with enough rest, water, and a balanced diet, you should be able to recover. Consider getting a thorough assessment of your hormone levels if you feel like you are taking care of yourself but are still worn out or just can't seem to bounce back.

Anxiety

It's not all in your brain, not at all. Each year, over 18% of Americans experience an anxiety-related disorder, and 7% experience a serious depressive illness. Because fluctuations in estrogen during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or menopause are linked to increased depression, women may be at a higher risk.

Putting on weight or struggling to shed it

Usually, it's a result of their nutrient-poor diet and excessive exertion. The body interprets this effort as stress, and when the body is under stress, it enters "fight-or-flight" or survival mode and releases cortisol.

Skin and hair modifications

One quick indicator of a suspected hormonal imbalance is a rapid increase in acne. Androgens are one of the few hormones in play. Sebum can accumulate in your pores and lead to a breakout if your body generates too many androgens.

 Hormones are sophisticated, potent substances. Several symptoms might make you feel as though you don't have control over your body if one or more of them are out of balance. It's crucial to discuss your symptoms with the Nutrition consultant in the UK if they are new and persistent. You'll be able to feel like yourself again as soon as you seek out assistance and therapy.

Triple Test: A Prenatal Screening For Chromosomal Abnormalities And Birth Defects

Dr. Deepak Goenka, M.D Director, Institute of Human Reproduction IVF Specialist

Pregnancy is an exciting time for expectant parents, but it is also a time of uncertainty and anxiety. To ease this uncertainty, many expectant mothers choose to undergo prenatal screening tests to check for any abnormalities in the fetus. One such test is the Triple Test. In this blog, we will take a closer look at the Triple Test and what it entails.

What is the Triple Test? When is it done?

The Triple Test is a prenatal screening test that is typically performed between the 15th and 20th weeks of pregnancy. The test is used to screen for certain chromosomal abnormalities and birth defects in the fetus. The Triple Test involves measuring three substances in the mother’s blood: alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and estriol (µE3).

Why is the Triple Test performed? Triple Test as a screening technique for Down Syndrome.

A positive Triple Test result means that the levels of one or more of these substances are higher or lower than normal, which can be a sign of a chromosomal abnormality or birth defect. It is important to note that a positive Triple Test does not diagnose a specific condition, but rather indicates the need for further testing to confirm a diagnosis.

What happens after a positive Triple Test result?

If you receive a positive Triple Test result, your healthcare provider will likely recommend further testing, such as an amniocentesis. The procedure involves taking a sample of the amniotic fluid to test for chromosomal abnormalities or genetic disorders. It is important to understand that the test is not without risks, and you should discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider before deciding to have them.

The Kumquat (The Surprise, Part 4)

Emily Prentiss x fem!reader Warnings: pregnancy times, established relationship, fluff on fluff on fluff, some references to past sexual trauma (nothing graphic), a Pap smear (aka the WORST medical exam and I will stand by that) Word Count: 1.4k

Summary: It's Emily's first non-local case since finding out you were pregnant, and you're both struggling. Especially because it means she'll have to miss you first prenatal appointment–and the first sound of your baby's heartbeat. Maybe there's still a way to share the moment, though...

Week 10: The Kumquat

Your heart beat wildly as you pulled into the parking lot of the OBGYN’s office. You wiped your sweaty palms on your jeans and checked your phone. Nothing. You groaned and rubbed your forehead.

You had a hard time with doctors, particularly with gynecologists–a stubborn remnant of past trauma. Emily knew that. Emily knew it was your first appointment and that you’d be scared. She’d wanted to come along; she would have asked all the questions you'd forget.

But duty called. It always did. You’d gotten lucky over the last month since finding out you were pregnant. The BAU hadn’t caught any huge cases and, even the cases they did catch had been local enough that Emily still made it home to you most nights. But, of course, your luck had run out.

You were angry with Emily for leaving, but you knew that was unreasonable. This is what you’d signed up for. Her job was important to her. It was important to you. The fact that she was so passionate about and dedicated to her team and the work they did was one of the things you loved most about her. You were always sad to see her leave and, yes, sometimes frustrated when she had to miss things you’d planned together, but at the end of the day, you knew she loved you, and that was all that mattered.

But this time. This time you were struggling. You tried not to take it out on Emily too much; it wasn’t her fault that your hormones were going wild. You were more everything than usual. More angry at her for leaving, more sad while she was gone, more terrified of going to the doctor.

You glared at your message-less phone for a few minutes before taking a deep breath and texting Emily.

Headed into the OBGYN🤞 I wish you were here. Be safe love 💗

You waited a few minutes with no response, taking a deep breath to swallow your rage. For all you knew, she could be in a bulletproof vest trying to talk down a murderer right now. She loves you, you reminded yourself. If she could be here, she would.

In the office, you were assaulted with the smell of rubbing alcohol and Lysol. You filled out what felt like a full novella of personal and family medical history. When they finally called you back, you felt like a science experiment–poked and prodded and measured. When the doctor pulled out the stirrups, you flinched.

“Is that necessary?” you asked.

She nodded at you. “Sorry. It’s just been long enough since your last Pap smear that I’d rather be safe than sorry.”

You hated it. Hated the whole process, you always did. It was painful and invasive and it made you remember things you’d really rather not remember. Emily usually went with you, to let you squeeze her hand and to whisper that it was okay, you were safe.

You clenched and felt tears prick at your eyes as the cold metal forced its way into you. Hands gripping at the paper covering the seat, you tried your very best to imagine Emily’s voice, her face, the smell of her hair. And you tried not to feel too furious that she wasn’t there. It’s not her fault, you repeated like a mantra.

They took some blood, they asked about running tests to screen for the baby’s health.

“Yes,” you said. “Run all of them.”

“The good news,” the doctor continued, “about these tests is that you also get to find out the gender earlier if that’s something you want.”

You knew you’d need to talk to Emily about it, but part of you didn’t want to know. Emily stubbornly calling the baby he, so sure was she that it was a boy, and you calling the baby she out of pure spite, had become an endearing part of your pregnancy to you. You might just rather be surprised.

“Now for the fun part!” the doctor said, clapping her hands together. “Would you like to try and find the heartbeat?”

Your stomach fluttered with excitement. “Really!? Isn’t it too early?”

“Sometimes we can hear it early with Doppler.”

You nodded vigorously, lifting up your shirt. It was the only time in your life you’d voluntarily had a doctor examine you.

She pressed the device to your lower belly, searching for sound. You waited rapt, barely breathing, so scared were you that you’d miss it.

But then: a whooshing sound and a quick, urgent, pattering heartbeat. Your baby’s heartbeat. You grinned wide.

“That’s her?” you asked, giddy.

The doctor nodded.

You felt like crying, from pure joy, but also because you wished Emily was here. She would be so sad, so sad, to have missed this. But maybe you could bring the heartbeat to her.

You took out your phone. “Can I record this?” you asked. “I want to send it to my wife.”

“Of course,” the doctor said.

You pressed the record button on your Voice Memos, and recorded a good thirty seconds of the baby’s heartbeat, knowing that Emily would listen to it again and again and again.

When you finally left the office, proud of yourself, you hopped in the car and checked your phone. Still nothing. You sent off another text to Emily.

Must be a hard day. ❤️Here’s something to cheer you up! 👶🏻🫀I miss you. Call when you can.

Later that night, as you lay in bed reading, your phone started buzzing. You smiled wide. Emily.

“Good evening, Agent Prentiss,” you joked.

“The heartbeat!” she squealed, so loud you had to hold the phone away from your ear.

You grinned and gushed. “Isn’t it the most beautiful heartbeat you’ve ever heard!?”

“Yes! After yours, of course.”

“Wow, you’re laying it on thick.”

“I’ve got a lot to make up for.” Emily sounded genuinely sad. “Honey, I’m so sorry I wasn’t there.”

“It’s okay,” you said, most of your anger dissipating the moment the words I’m sorry left her mouth.

“It’s not okay. I should’ve been there. You hate going to the doctor, and it’s our baby. It’ll get easier after we tell my team. Then I can take a step back.”

“It’s really okay, Em.”

She sighed, and you could tell there was nothing you could say that would alleviate her guilt. She’d carry it with her until she was home again, until she could scoop you up and hold you and take care of you the way she wanted to.

“Was everything okay? With you and Little Kumquat?”

“Kumquat looks good. Healthy as a horse. I–” You thought about the Pap smear, the taste of metal seeping into your mouth. “I’m okay, too.”

“You’re lying.” Emily’s voice shifted, now deep and concerned. “Y/N, what happened?”

“I’m not lying!” Sometimes you really hated being married to a profiler.

Emily grew more panicked. “Is something wrong? Honey, do I need to come home?”

“No! Em, it’s just…” You sighed, picking at your fingernails. “They had to do a Pap smear.”

The line was quiet for a moment before Emily spoke, her voice thick with emotion. “Oh, honey. Are you okay?”

“Yeah,” you answered, shaky, afraid if you tried to say more you might start crying.

“Y/N, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry I wasn’t there. I know how hard those are for you.”

You stayed quiet, willing yourself not to cry. Emily felt guilty enough; you crying would make it ten times worse.

“Listen, I’m at a hotel tonight, okay? I’ll have my phone by me all night. I know sometimes you get nightmares after, so just call me if you wake up, okay?”

“Emily, you don’t have to do that,” you said softly. “You need sleep.”

“I won’t sleep one wink if I’m worried about you all night, so promise me you’ll call.”

“Okay. I promise.”

“Thank you. Ugh, Rossi’s waving me over. I gotta go, but I love you so much, and I miss you every second, and I can’t wait to get home to you.” 

“I love you, too.”

You slept with your phone on the pillow next to you that night, and it wasn’t the same as having Emily there, especially when you woke up gasping in a cold sweat. But her voice lulling you back to sleep was pretty close, and you were so, so glad to have her–even from far away.

Introduction to Fetal Medicine: What You Need to Know

The journey of pregnancy is filled with excitement, anticipation, and sometimes, uncertainty. While most pregnancies progress smoothly, some may require specialized care to ensure the health and well-being of both mother and baby. This is where fetal medicine comes in—a vital branch of medicine focused on monitoring and managing the health of the fetus during pregnancy. At Diva Women’s Hospital, our fetal medicine specialists are committed to providing advanced care for expectant mothers and their babies.

In this blog, we’ll introduce you to the field of fetal medicine, explain its importance, and highlight when you may need to consult a fetal medicine specialist.

What is Fetal Medicine?

Fetal medicine is a subspecialty of obstetrics that focuses on the health of the unborn baby (the fetus). It involves diagnosing, monitoring, and treating conditions that may affect the fetus during pregnancy. The goal of fetal medicine is to detect any potential health issues early on and to offer interventions that can improve pregnancy outcomes.

From genetic testing to advanced imaging techniques, fetal medicine covers a broad range of procedures designed to ensure the best possible health for the developing baby. Fetal medicine specialists are highly trained in identifying fetal abnormalities and providing appropriate medical care or surgical interventions, when necessary.

Why is Fetal Medicine Important?

Pregnancy is a critical period for both the mother and the fetus. While most pregnancies are uneventful, some may involve complications that require specialized attention. Early detection and treatment of fetal conditions can significantly improve outcomes and help parents prepare for the potential challenges ahead.

Fetal medicine is important for a number of reasons:

Early Diagnosis: Special techniques of screening and diagnostic tests are able to identify certain abnormalities of the fetus in the early stages of pregnancy, so parents and physicians can make correct decisions about treatment and care.

Better Outcomes: Through diagnosing such conditions before birth, fetal medicine means more chances of a natural birth than bed side and fewer or no complications during birth to both the mother and the child.

Comprehensive Care: Fetal medicine specialists collaborate with obstetricians, neonatologists and with other healthcare professionals in order to provide treatment that encompasses the mother and fetus.

Common Conditions Monitored in Fetal Medicine

Fetal medicine includes a variety of situations that can be potentially threatening to the fetus during pregnancy. Some of the most common areas of concern include:

Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR): A birth complication that results from a fetus being smaller than the normal size for that gestational period; a condition that may cause birth and postnatal complications.

Congenital Heart Defects: Congenital need malformations affecting heart functionality that can be diagnosed from fetal echocardiograms and addressed early or after birth.

Chromosomal Abnormalities: Down syndrome is one of examples that can be either diagnosed, with the help of Amniocentesis the non-invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT).

Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS): A disease, which occurs in identical twins and is characterized by unequal partitioning of blood between the two individuals, as can be hazardous for both.

Fetal Infections: There are diseases which are transmitted through pregnancy – for example, cytomegalovirus (CMV) or toxic-plasmosis. It is a branch that deals with fetal features to facilitate diagnostic tests and interventions.

Neural Tube Defects: Neural tube defects from developmental malformation of the nervous system; these include spina bifida which can be diagnosed using detailed ultrasounds.

When Should You See a Fetal Medicine Specialist?

Normally, a general obstetrician will look after a low-risk pregnancy. However, there are certain situations where seeing a fetal medicine specialist is highly recommended:

Abnormal Ultrasound: Cases of suspected fetal anomalies in an ultrasound leads the doctor to refer you to the fetal medicine specialist for more diagnosis.

Multiple Pregnancies: Delivery also becomes a big issue with the twin, triplet, or even higher order depending on the number of fetuses when compared to a normal pregnancy.

Maternal Health Issues: If the mother has health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or autoimmune disease then a fetal medicine specialist can give additional care to the fetus.

Previous Pregnancy Complications: There are several situations that might require care from a fetal medicine specialist, including multiple pregnancies, and pregnancy complications in prior pregnancies which include preterm birth, fetal growth restriction.

Advanced Maternal Age: Favourable outcome: As the age increases, especially above 35 years, there are likely to suffer from complications, fetal medicine can provide further scan and surveillance.

Diagnostic Tools and Procedures in Fetal Medicine

Specialist in fetal medicine employs a number of invasive and non- invasive resources that aid in diagnosing fetal disorders. Some of the key diagnostic methods include:

Ultrasound: The most common imaging method in fetal medicine is ultrasound, which helps the specialists see the fetus and make sure the baby is growing correctly and has no anatomical or developmental defects.

Amniocentesis: This one involves sucking a small amount of fluid from around the baby to check for chromosomal irregularity or any inherited diseases.

Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS): To diagnose the presence or absence of genetic disorders, a tissue from the placenta is collected before the completion of 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Fetal Echocardiography: A detailed ultrasound of the fetal heart to diagnose congenital hearts disease.

Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT): A blood test that uses fragments of fetal DNA from the mother’s blood to detect chromosomal abnormalities.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): At times fetal MRI is applied in situations where ultrasounds are ambiguous regarding the construction of the fetal brain or another vital organ.
