Non-Invasive Pregnancy Testing
Non-invasive pregnancy testing, or NIPT, is a blood test that separates the fetal DNA from the mother’s to look for evidence of a chromosomal defect. Chromosomal defects detected by this screening include Down Syndrome, Edwards Syndrome, and others. Having this test done can reduce the possibility of having more invasive procedures done, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. This test will also determine the gender of the baby.

Cord blood banking
There is one opportunity to save your newborn baby’s stem cells and that time is at birth. Stem cells have the ability to transform into different cells that the body needs at that time. One child’s stem cell may also be a perfect match for their siblings as well.
