Yes: The definitive test is an amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. There are screening tests to determine whether or not these invasive tests may be appropriate for any given pregnant woman. The screening tests carry a false positive rate that may increase anxiety but the two tests above will tell you one way or the other.
