A simple blood test from the mother that screens for common chromosomal conditions, with no risk to the baby.
Timing
Usually from 10 weeks of pregnancy onward.
Preparation
No special preparation is needed.
NIPT, or non-invasive prenatal testing, analyses fragments of your baby's DNA that circulate naturally in the mother's blood to screen for common chromosomal conditions such as Down's syndrome.
Because it is a blood test it carries no risk to the baby. It is a screening test, so any higher-chance result is discussed carefully and confirmed by further testing where appropriate.
The counsellor or specialist explains what NIPT can and cannot tell you.
A single blood sample is taken from the mother's arm.
The sample is analysed by the laboratory.
We contact you to explain the result when it is ready.
