NIPT Testing
Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is a simple blood test that analyzes fetal DNA circulating in the mother’s bloodstream. It can help screen for certain chromosomal conditions, including Down syndrome, as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy.
Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy and affects how the body processes sugar. Early diagnosis and proper management can help support a healthy pregnancy and reduce complications.
Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-related condition characterized by elevated blood pressure and signs of organ involvement, usually occurring after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Early detection and careful monitoring are essential for maternal and fetal health.
Hypertension During Pregnancy
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common condition that can occur before or during pregnancy. Careful monitoring and management are important to help reduce risks and support the health of both mother and baby throughout pregnancy.
Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS)
Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) occurs when the placenta grows too deeply into the wall of the uterus and does not separate normally after delivery. Early diagnosis and specialized care are essential to help reduce complications and ensure the safest possible outcome for both mother and baby.
Twin Pregnancy
Twin pregnancies require additional monitoring because they may carry unique risks compared to singleton pregnancies. Regular prenatal care and specialized ultrasound evaluations help ensure optimal outcomes for both babies.
Cesarean Section (C-Section)
A cesarean section, commonly known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions made in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. While many women have successful vaginal deliveries, a C-section may be recommended when it is the safest option for the mother, baby, or both.
