Peace of Mind for Your Pregnancy Journey
As an expecting parent in South Africa, you naturally want the very best for your baby’s health. Our comprehensive prenatal diagnostic screening provides the answers and reassurance you need during this special time. We understand the anxiety that can come with pregnancy, which is why we’ve made advanced genetic testing accessible and affordable across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria.
Understanding Your Prenatal Screening
This sophisticated test combines two powerful technologies – Karyotyping and FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) – to examine your baby’s chromosomes in detail. We specifically look at chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y, which are associated with the most common chromosomal conditions that can affect development.
Karyotyping provides a complete picture of all 46 chromosomes, while FISH technology gives us rapid, targeted results for the specific chromosomes we’re most concerned about. This dual approach ensures maximum accuracy and reliability for your peace of mind.
Who Should Consider This Screening?
This test is particularly important if you:
- Are over 35 years of age
- Have abnormal ultrasound findings
- Have a family history of genetic conditions
- Received concerning results from initial screening tests
- Want comprehensive information about your baby’s chromosomal health
- Are planning for specialized care if needed
Many South African parents choose this screening for the confidence it provides, regardless of their risk factors.
Why This Matters for Your Family’s Health
Early detection through this screening can make a significant difference in your pregnancy journey. By identifying potential chromosomal conditions early, you and your healthcare team can:
- Prepare for any special care needs your baby might have
- Make informed decisions about your pregnancy management
- Connect with appropriate medical specialists in advance
- Reduce anxiety through knowledge and preparation
- Ensure the best possible start for your baby’s life
The peace of mind that comes with knowing your baby’s chromosomal health is invaluable.
Understanding Your Results with Compassion
We know waiting for results can be stressful. That’s why our team provides clear, compassionate explanations of your findings. Most parents receive normal results, which brings tremendous relief. If any concerns are identified, our genetic counsellors and your healthcare provider will work together to explain what this means for your baby and discuss your options with sensitivity and respect.
Remember: Knowledge is power. Having this information early allows you to prepare and access the best possible care for your baby.
