First trimester screening for trisomies and preeclampsia
We recommend this extended screening for all pregnant women even those who had NIPT done. During Nuchal scan, first trimester ultrasound (CRL 45-83mm), and with your blood test results, we assess risk for Down, Edwards, and Patau syndrome, but also preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction. Blood drawn before the scan (ideally 10-11 weeks) gives immediate results; same-day draw provides results in the next 2-3 working days.
High-risk results lead to clear recommendations for NIPT, CVS, or amniocentesis. Dr. Tena’s training with Prof. Nicolaides (who discovered nuchal translucency) and our FMC London-identical software provide up to 95% sensitivity for Down syndrome detection – more precise than routine screening.
We are here to answer every question about pregnancy, ultrasound, gynecology, or consultations. You’ll receive a thoughtful and timely response.
