prenatal testing

**prenatal testing**

Prenatal testing refers to medical tests and screenings performed during pregnancy to assess the health and development of the fetus. These tests help detect genetic conditions, chromosomal abnormalities, and other potential health issues early on, allowing for informed decision-making and personalized care. Common types of prenatal testing include blood tests, ultrasounds, and diagnostic procedures like amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS). Prenatal testing plays a vital role in ensuring the well-being of both the mother and baby throughout pregnancy.
