Q: Who can have the NIPT test?

A: NIPT can be ordered by healthcare professionals for women with pregnancies of at least 10 weeks’ gestational age. This test can be requested for any singleton or twin pregnancy, including those conceived naturally or by IVF using the patient’s own egg or a donor egg.

Note that, in twin pregnancies, s*x chromosome (X and Y) analysis can determine fetal s*x but not s*x chromosome conditions. This test is not suitable in the case of a vanishing twin. The s*x of twins will be reported as one result. If male, one or both of the twins will be male. If female, both twins will be female.

The test does not assess risk for mosaicism, partial trisomies or translocations.

Can You See The Baby’s Heartbeat At Six Weeks? The heartbeat of an embryo normally starts off at six weeks of gestational pregnancy (dated from the first day of your LMP). This is detected by carrying out a transvaginal ultrasound. Sometimes it isn’t possible to detect your embryo’s heartbeat until around seven or eight weeks of gestational pregnancy. So you may need to attend the clinic for another scan.

When Should You Go For Your First Pregnancy Scan? If you are not considered high risk, or nothing abnormal has occurred during the first trimester of your pregnancy, then the first ultrasound is offered to you at 12 weeks in Ireland. This is called either a dating scan (as it calculates your baby’s gestational age) or an early pregnancy scan.

Pregnancy Diary Week 16: How Is Your Baby Growing?

By this time, your baby should be around 3-5 ounces in weight and be around 4-5 inches in length, around the size of an avocado. Bones in his ears have now formed so if you try talking to him, he might probably hear you now. The baby’s muscles, especially those in his back are now getting stronger so he can now straighten out a little bit.
Since his facial muscles are also forming, the baby is now able to form different facial expressions such as squinting and frowning. Though his eyelids are still sealed, the baby’s eyes have now started working. In fact, he can now make little side to side movements. Amazing isn’t it?

"My husband and I recently had an anatomy scan here and had a really good experience. The environment was really calming and we felt really taken care of from reception all the way through to the ultrasound with the midwife. During the scan itself, the time was taken to ensure I was comfortable and answered any questions with patience - this went so far to help ease my anxiety. I highly recommend them."

Pregnancy Diary Week 18: How Is Your Baby Growing?

Your baby is now over 6 inches long and more than 5 ounces in weight; around the size of a bell pepper.

Though most mothers start feeling their baby’s movements after the 20th week, you may begin feeling that your baby is kicking, punching, rolling and twisting inside your womb this week.

By this time, your baby now has its own set of finger and toe prints. He may also develop other skills, such as hiccupping and yawning.

Q: What is the NIPT?

A: The Non-Invasive Prenatal Test is the newest option in prenatal screening. It’s a simple blood test that looks at tiny fragments of your baby’s DNA to assess the chance of:

• Down syndrome (Trisomy 21)
• Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 13
• X and Y chromosome conditions
