Prenatal screening
During pregnancy, you can have screening tests to find out whether your unborn baby has a congenital disorder or any physical abnormalities. This is called prenatal screening. There are two screening tests:
- prenatal screening for Down syndrome, Edwards’ syndrome and Patau's syndrome, and
- screening for physical abnormalities (anomaly scan).
It’s entirely up to you to decide whether or not you want to take these screening tests.
