What information will this test provide for me?
This procedure is similar to Amniocentesis except the sample is taken from the placenta instead of the amniotic fluid by either A (through the abdomen) or B (like a pap smear) depending on which is best in your case.
This test can be done between 11 to 13.5 weeks which is earlier than Amniocentesis.
There is a small chance that the sample will not contain enough of the baby's cells and the test may need to be repeated. This is uncommon.
This procedure has a 1 in 100 chance of miscarriage. You will be counselled by our Doctor before you have the test in order to make sure you understand the risks.
