What Does the NIPT Blood Test Check For? Pregnancy is an exciting journey, but it also comes with a lot of questions and concerns— especially when it comes to your baby’s health. One of the most trusted ways to gain reassurance early in your pregnancy is through a Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT). At Bump 2 Baby Scans, we o?er NIPT blood tests to give expecting parents clear, reliable information in the most gentle and non-invasive way possible. But what exactly does the NIPT blood test check for? And why are so many parents choosing it? Let’s break it down simply. What Is the NIPT Blood Test? The NIPT is a simple blood test that can be done as early as 10 weeks into pregnancy. It checks for certain chromosomal conditions in your baby’s DNA, using a small sample of your blood. The reason it’s called “non-invasive” is because it doesn’t involve any risk to your baby —there are no needles near your bump and no uncomfortable procedures. Just a quick blood draw from your arm.
What Does NIPT Screen For? The main purpose of the NIPT blood test is to check if your baby has a higher chance of certain genetic conditions, including: Down’s Syndrome (Trisomy 21) This is the most common condition screened for by NIPT. It occurs when a baby has an extra copy of chromosome 21 and may lead to learning di?culties and developmental delays. Edwards’ Syndrome (Trisomy 18) A more serious condition that can a?ect development and organ function. Babies with this condition often face significant health challenges. Patau’s Syndrome (Trisomy 13) This rare condition can cause severe physical and developmental problems. Like Edwards’ syndrome, it can be life-limiting. Some NIPT tests can also screen for other rare genetic conditions, as well as sex chromosome di?erences, which can help detect certain conditions related to the X or Y chromosomes. Can NIPT Reveal Gender? Yes! One of the things parents love about the NIPT is that it can also accurately reveal your baby’s gender, as early as 10 weeks. So if you’re planning an early gender reveal or just want to know sooner, this test o?ers a reliable option. Why Parents Choose the NIPT Blood Test?
