Counselling for Noninvasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)

Counselling for Noninvasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) involves providing information and support to expectant parents considering this genetic screening method. NIPT analyzes a sample of the mother's blood to detect the likelihood of certain genetic conditions in the fetus, such as Down syndrome. The counselling process explains the benefits, limitations, and potential outcomes of the test, helping parents make informed decisions about whether to proceed with NIPT. It also addresses emotional responses and options for further testing, ensuring that parents feel supported throughout their prenatal journey.
