Every pregnant woman knows how our heads are filled with questions from the moment the pregnancy test is positive until the delivery.
During pregnancy, ultrasounds and prenatal screening are among the measures that serve to reassure us about the state of he alth of our baby.
Prenato, a clinic specializing in prenatal screening and support, is THE destination for access to reliable prenatal screening tests and ultrasounds (viability, dating and nuchal translucency) throughout pregnancy.
Prenatal screening, why is it important?
The fetal DNA screening test can detect at 99.9% the risk of several types of trisomy (21, 18 and 13), certain genetic deficiencies in addition to reliably determining the sex of the fetus from the 10th week of pregnancy. This test performed early in pregnancy will allow parents to be better prepared, regardless of the results and their decision as to what to do next.
All the tests offered by Prenato are carried out by a simple blood test and are without risk for the mother and the fetus. The results are accurate andas fast as 3-5 days.
Why choose Prenato?
Prenato customers will get back to you, for peace of mind. By going to Prenato for an ultrasound or a screening test, you receive valuable advice from he alth professionals and personalized support that goes much further than a simple test.
The client will be explained by a nurse about the different screening options (hormonal or fetal DNA) and will be guided towards the best choice for her based on her family history, age, he alth status and of his personal needs.
