Why do I need genetic testing?
Your doctor at North Scottsdale Women’s Health may recommend genetic testing to identify potential genetic disorders in the fetus. Genetic disorders are the result of changes in chromosomes or genes and include conditions like cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, and Tay-Sachs disease.
Prenatal genetic screenings require a sample of blood or a tissue swab from inside your cheek. Your doctor may also request an amniocentesis or an ultrasound exam to detect signs of genetic abnormalities.
What’s the difference between 3D and 4D ultrasounds?
Ultrasound technology uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of your baby from inside the womb. An ultrasound captures images in real-time and provides your doctor with a closer look at your baby’s development and functionality of the organs. Ultrasounds are also useful in detecting potential medical issues in the fetus and identifying the gender of your baby.
In 3D ultrasounds, you can expect to see some facial features of your baby, as well as their fingers and toes, giving you a life-like view of your baby.
With 4D ultrasounds, the captured images are in motion, allowing you to see your baby in live action form in real-time.
