When & Who should take the test?
- NIPT can be done as early as 10 weeks to 13 weeks into a pregnancy period.
- NIPT is for pregnant women who have an increased risk of having a baby with a chromosomal abnormality. This includes women who have had an abnormal ultrasound, have a family history of chromosomal abnormalities, or have had a previous pregnancy with a chromosomal abnormality.
- NIPT is also more widely used as a routine screening test for all pregnant women, regardless of their risk factors. It is important to note that NIPT is a screening test.
