I am 12 weeks pregnant and have learned about the NIPT test. Can I ask if I need to do the NIPT test and do I need to do more Double test and Triple test? I thank you.

Hello! With the question "if I do NIPT test, do I need to do more Double test and Triple test?" The doctor would like to advise as follows:
Non-invasive prenatal screening test NIPT is a test performed from the 10th week of pregnancy, to help assess the risk of the fetus with a number of genetic syndromes with unique characteristics. High accuracy and absolute safety for mother and fetus.
Similarly, Double test and Triple test are two very important tests during pregnancy to screen for fetal malformations.
So if you have done NIPT test, you don't need to do double test and triple test anymore. Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
