The NIPT test is a prenatal blood screening that detects specific chromosomal conditions by examining fetal DNA in the mother’s blood. It is highly accurate—over 99% for certain conditions—when done after 10 weeks. While it can also determine gender, its main goal is to assess your baby’s health.

Prenatal testing in Canada includes screening options like NIPT and first trimester screening that help evaluate your baby’s development. These tests offer early insights into chromosomal conditions and are generally optional for most pregnancies. Understanding your choices allows you to make informed decisions and feel more confident during your pregnancy journey.

Pregnancy is full of unforgettable moments, and one of the most exciting experiences for expectant parents is seeing their baby before birth. Thanks to modern ultrasound technology, families today can see remarkably detailed images of their baby during pregnancy.
