prenatal screenings

Prenatal screenings are tests during pregnancy that help assess the health of the developing baby and identify potential genetic or medical conditions. These screenings typically involve blood tests and ultrasound images to measure risk factors for conditions like Down syndrome or neural tube defects. They do not provide a diagnosis but help parents and healthcare providers decide if further testing is needed. The goal is to ensure the best possible health for both mother and baby, and to prepare for any necessary medical care after birth.
