The non-invasive prenatal test is a prenatal screening test that allows the detection of chromosomal abnormalities in a fetus using a maternal blood sample from the 10th week of pregnancy.
It is a technique that does not put the pregnancy at risk and offers the detection of the main chromosomal alterations (Down, Edwards and Patau syndromes) with a reliability higher than that of 99%. In addition, it offers the possibility of confirmation of the fetal sex.
It is done by the midwife at a consultation visit where, in addition to extracting the blood sample, she will be in charge of providing all the information related to the procedure and answering all your questions.
Once we receive the results, it is also the midwife who is in charge of communicating them.
