Being parents for the first time or the third time it doesn\u2019t matter. Every time you are about to give birth brings the same amount of joy to the parents no matter how many times previously they have gone through the same steps. Because each baby is different and brings with them their own little surprises. So all parents are eagerly awaiting the birth of their babies expecting the most beautiful baby in the world to pop out. No parent will want to be informed by the doctor that certain complications have led to the baby being born with certain genetic defects or impairments. This is the worst kind of news that can be delivered to parents when they have just given birth. And it can have adverse effects on the parent, child relationship especially with the mother.<\/p>\n
We just might have a solution<\/strong><\/p>\n Well with the development of technology and science doctors may have just found a solution to the problem. They have discovered a way of testing the mother and baby during the early stages of the pregnancy in order to detect at least some of these problems if not all of it. Which goes a long way in solving this issue. For example the ultrasound scan is something that is routinely used on mothers and various times during the pregnancy to detect any abnormalities like neural tube defects or nuchal thickness of the fetus in the early stages. The nifty test is another blood test that is commonly done to detect chromosomal abnormalities such downs syndrome, patau syndrome and Edwards syndrome. Which are all trisomies of a particular chromosome. It can also detect for many other chromosomal abnormalities like deletions and additions as well.<\/p>\n
