CVS Pregnancy Test (courtesy : www.epinions.com)

A diagnostic test that helps to confirm whether your baby has Down’s syndrome or another genetic abnormality, but does not tell whether your baby has spina bifida. The test is carried out between 11 and 13 weeks of pregnancy. You have to wait about 10 days for the results. If in any case you want to terminated the pregnancy, you can do so well before you start to feel your baby kicking.

Pros

  • Easy,cheaper than other tests but just as accurate

  • Early pregnancy test, the results do not take long to come through.

    • Cons

  • Can only find in CVS stores

  • Small risk of miscarriage, between 0.5 and 2 per cent.

    • In this test, a fine needle is put through the abdomen and, with the help of an ultrasound scan for guidance, the doctor removes a very small part of the placenta. After the test, the baby’s heartbeat is checked and then you have to spend the next two days quietly at home to avoid the risk of miscarriage.
