Hello doctor. Doctor, can you tell me if a nuchal translucency of 0.8 to 0.9 mm is considered normal? Thank you for your advice.

I am 12 weeks pregnant and have researched about NIPT testing. If I do NIPT testing, do I need to do the Double test and Triple test? Thank you.

I am 15 weeks pregnant and had an ultrasound showing the nuchal translucency was 1.2mm at 12 weeks and 5 days. So doctor, can you tell me if the nuchal translucency measured at more than 12 weeks of pregnancy was 1.2mm, is that okay? I forgot to ask the doctor what the results of Trisomi 21 and Trisomi 18 mean?

Double test and Triple test are two very important tests during pregnancy to screen for fetal abnormalities. However, many pregnant mothers do not fully understand them. The following article will help mothers have a more detailed view of the similarities and differences between these two tests.

Double test is one of the routine screening tests, recommended for all pregnant women to screen for common chromosomal disorders in the fetus such as Down, Edwards and Patau syndromes.

Blood typing during pregnancy is one of the first and most important tests. The purpose of blood typing in pregnant women is to determine blood type and prevent the risks of blood transfusion during childbirth.

One of the paraclinical testing methods that helps screen for fetal malformations at an early stage is the double test (quantifying PAPP-A and quantifying free β-hCG).

During pregnancy, the mother is very susceptible to external influences that affect her health. Moreover, during pregnancy there are mutations that the mother cannot control. To know the development status of the fetus, pregnant mothers should perform prenatal screening tests as soon as possible to understand the development status of the child.

Do all pregnant women need to do the Triple test? This is often a question of many pregnant women when performing prenatal screening tests. However, not all pregnant women need to do the Triple test. When the Double test shows a high risk of birth defects, then the pregnant mother will do the Triple test.

Prenatal screening is the use of specific testing methods during pregnancy to diagnose cases of genetic disorders caused by chromosomes in the fetal stage. From there, families are advised to choose timely and appropriate treatment.
