Tests Necessary for Prevention
Nannywiz

Prevention is better that cure!

What are the necessary tests that a mother should consider before and during pregnancy that would help determine and possibly prevent miscarriage / pregnancy loss?


WinonaBlues

Genetic testing that may help mothers determine the causes of some genetic disorder and find treatment as early as preparing for pregnancy.


Lipstick

Yeah Genetic tests are important but there are various genetic tests available. The most common is the DNA test that could check the hereditary conditions of the mother.


MarieLD

Is there a test that will give results for all possible disease that might affect pregnancy?


MoM

DNA test as Lipstick mentioned and blood tests will be necessary and helpful.


HOPE

I AGREE THAT THESE TESTS ARE HELPFUL BUT IT CAN'T GIVE 100% GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL PREVENT PREGNANCY LOSS.


Angela16

That's true HOPE but at least there is an idea or chance that you can avoid a pregnancy loss because of early knowledge.


Emmie

It is true that it may not be 100% guaranteed but at least you'll be informed of possible risks.

Amniocentesis is a helpful test too. Try to check another topic about it.

Chorionic villlus sampling is another test to determine chromosomal abnormality. A small piece of placental tissue is removed using a needle.

If we undergo these tests, what is the percentage of preventing a miscarriage?
