These prenatal diagnostic tests help expectant parents make informed decisions about pregnancy management while receiving professional guidance from experienced fetal medicine specialists.
What Are Fetal Medicine Diagnostic Procedures?
Fetal medicine procedures are specialised tests performed during pregnancy to assess the health and development of the fetus. These procedures are recommended when there is an increased risk of genetic disorders, congenital anomalies, or abnormal screening results. All procedures at Naraya Health are performed under ultrasound guidance using internationally accepted safety protocols.
Amniocentesis Procedure
What Is Amniocentesis?
Amniocentesis is a prenatal diagnostic test in which a small amount of amniotic fluid is collected from around the fetus. This fluid contains fetal cells that are analysed to detect chromosomal abnormalities, genetic disorders, and certain infections.
When Is Amniocentesis Recommended?
Amniocentesis is usually performed between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy. It may be advised for:
Abnormal prenatal screening results
Advanced maternal age
Family history of genetic conditions
Suspicion of chromosomal abnormalities
Certain fetal structural anomalies
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)
What Is Chorionic Villus Sampling?
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is an early prenatal diagnostic procedure that involves collecting a small sample of placental tissue. The tissue shares the baby’s genetic makeup and is analysed to detect chromosomal and inherited conditions.
When Is CVS Performed?
CVS is typically performed between 10 and 13 weeks of pregnancy. It allows for earlier diagnosis compared to amniocentesis, which can be helpful for timely clinical decision-making.
Safety and Accuracy of Fetal Medicine Procedures
Both amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling are safe when performed by experienced fetal medicine specialists. These procedures are carried out under continuous ultrasound guidance to minimise risks. Patients are closely monitored before, during, and after the procedure, and detailed post-procedure instructions are provided.
Our approach aligns with global best practices recommended by the World Health Organization for prenatal diagnostic care.
Counselling and Post-Procedure Care
Genetic counselling is an essential part of fetal medicine procedures. Before testing, patients receive clear explanations about the purpose, benefits, and limitations of each procedure. After results are available, our specialists provide detailed counselling to help families understand findings and discuss next steps with clarity and confidence.
