Glossary Prenatal Diagnosis

medical tests during pregnancy to check fetal health

Prenatal Diagnosis, also known as Antenatal Diagnosis, refers to the medical procedures and tests conducted during pregnancy to determine the health and development of the fetus. These tests can identify genetic disorders, congenital anomalies, and other potential health issues before birth, allowing for early intervention or informed decision-making by the parents and healthcare providers. Common methods include ultrasound, amniocentesis, and chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
