Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Aneuploidy Screen: Ask for a referral to a perinatologist. A high resolution ultrasound is helpful to rule out major abnormalities & more important to ensure correct dates (a common reason for abnormal levels). In addition to amniocentesis and cvs; we can now test your blood to test for trisomy 21 (down's syndrome) & also t-18 & 13. See a specialist & remember, everything might be just fine. Wait for better info.
