Thanks for the information. My partner and I are both carriers of the sickle cell trait ie AS genotype. We're opting for CVS test during pregnancy. How safe is this test and are there any other complications?

@TheMaternityMentor 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the question. Chorionic villus sampling like most genetic testing is very safe, having been used for many years. The main risks of this procedure are bleeding, cramping, leaking of amniotic fluid, preterm labor, miscarriage, and infection. These are considered to be a very small risk. Rarely is performed before 9 weeks gestation is a risk of fetal limb deformity. Before your procedure, your provider should discuss the risks and benefits so you can make an informed decision. If you don't mind, please remember to like my video and subscribe which really helps the channel out. Feel free to reach out if you have anymore questions.

I have done the amniocentesis screening. Some of it was inconclusive so they asked for my husband's blood work, why? What does that do?

@TheMaternityMentor 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for asking! They are probably going to test your husband for certain genetic disorders. Most likely the inconclusive areas are related to the chromosome your husband contributes to your baby. If his screening is clear, than the baby should be ok. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
