Our specialists, obstetrician gynecologists, hand in hand with radiologists, have the health and evolution of your baby as a priority. That is why we recommend you take your prenatal check-up accompanied.

This is a scheme that we present to you is one based on a pregnancy with a normal evolution, so the frequency of your visits may vary in the event of any eventuality. In our Medical Center we are governed by the standards of excellence of North American protocols.

First trimester:

• In the first consultations, the gestational sac is verified and the presence of the heartbeat is assessed.
  
• Week 11-13 Morphogenetic echogram of the first trimester

Second trimester:

• Week 18-22 Morphogenetic echogram of the second trimester
  
• Week 24-26 Fetal Echocardiogram

Third trimester:

• Week 34 Biophysical profile in patients at risk
  
• Week 36 Hemodynamic Profile

During pregnancy, from week 6 of gestation, the baby’s DNA circulates through the mother’s bloodstream. The enormous advances in the field of genetics allow us for the first time to detect this fetal DNA in the mother’s blood and to access genetic information about the baby’s chromosomes and to know its sex through a non-invasive test at an early time. of pregnancy.

There are several syndromes that appear when one of the 46 normal chromosomes is missing or excess.

This non-invasive prenatal test is performed by taking a maternal blood sample and analyzing all fetal chromosomes.

It detects the presence of multiple chromosome abnormalities, for example, some of the most common:

• Down syndrome (Trisomy 21)
  
• Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18)
  
• Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13)

The Non-Invasive Prenatal Test can be performed from 10 weeks of pregnancy, 12 if it is a twin pregnancy, and is recommended for pregnant women who want to rule out that their fetus has chromosomal abnormalities.

It is indicated for pregnant women of all age or risk categories. You do not need to have any antecedent or risk factor to perform this test. It can also be performed for pregnancies from Assisted Reproductive Techniques (IVF, even with oocyte donation).

It has multiple advantages such as:

• Safety: When performed with a simple blood draw, the risks of spontaneous abortions are ruled out, as happens in 1% of amniocentesis cases.
  
• The prenatal test is a very reliable test, with a 99% success rate in detecting Down syndrome.
  
• Early detection. While to perform amniocentesis it is necessary to wait for the second trimester, the non-invasive prenatal test can be done from week 10 of pregnancy.

In our reproduction center we offer these valuable tools to our pregnant patients and thus we study the baby’s chromosomes and we know their sex early in the pregnancy. The best of all is without taking maternal fetal risks.
