Overview
Clear answers during a sensitive pregnancy decision
Pregnancy is a special journey, but it can also bring questions about your baby's health.

At our advanced prenatal testing centre in Pune, we provide safe, precise, and compassionate prenatal diagnostic tests under expert supervision. We use ultrasound-guided techniques and modern lab testing to detect conditions like Down syndrome, Thalassaemia, and cystic fibrosis with high accuracy.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
CVS is a prenatal diagnostic test performed at 11-14 weeks that collects a small placental tissue sample to detect genetic and chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome, Tay-Sachs, and Thalassemia.
Amniocentesis is done at 15-20 weeks to analyze amniotic fluid for chromosomal and neural tube defects (e.g., spina bifida) and inherited disorders, providing detailed information for pregnancy management.
Your obstetrician or genetic counselor explains the results, discusses further testing if needed, and guides you through safe, informed next steps.
Typically recommended between 15-20 weeks, especially with abnormal screening results, family history of genetic disorders, or maternal age 35+.
When performed by experienced specialists, both tests are considered safe. Risks like miscarriage are rare, about 0.2%. We use sterile, ultrasound-guided procedures to minimize risks.
No. CVS detects genetic/chromosomal disorders but not structural defects (e.g., spina bifida). For a complete assessment, your doctor may recommend detailed ultrasound or amniocentesis.
