¿En qué consiste el diagnóstico prenatal?
Un embarazo sin sobresaltos
Para estar segura de que tu bebé se encuentra en perfecto estado es importante que conozcas a qué pruebas te debes someter.
Las futuras mamás no tienen más que un deseo: que su niño nazca sano. Por eso, lejos de antojos y caprichos, la gran mayoría de las embarazadas cumplen a rajatabla los consejos de su ginecólogo. Además de llevar unos hábitos de vida saludables, las futuras madres deben someterse durante el embarazo a una serie de pruebas para comprobar que el bebé se desarrolla sin problemas. Estos estudios, que formarán el llamado diagnóstico prenatal, estan compuestos por una serie de exploraciones. Como primera medida, toda mujer en estado de gestación debe someterse a:
□ Una ecografía: a través de ella es posible valorar el correcto desarrollo del feto.
□ Un análisis de sangre: Es importante para detectar ciertas sustancias--como la proteína A plasmática--que avisan de la posibilidad de enfermedad en tu bebé.
PRUEBAS INVASIVAS
Además de las revisiones de rigor, en ciertos casos es necesario que te sometas a pruebas diagnósticas más invasivas:
- Si tienes más de 35 años.
- Si has sufrido abortos repetidos.
- Si los futuros papás padecen alguna enfermedad hereditaria.
- Si existen alteraciones en la ecografía y en los análisis que te han realizado durante el embarazo. | Translation - English
Prenatal Diagnosis: What you need to know
Your Guide to a Worry-Free Pregnancy
To ensure your baby is developing normally it’s important to be aware of some of the most common pre-natal tests you'll need to take during your pregnancy.
Every mother-to-be wants to deliver a healthy baby. That's why most pregnant women follow their obstetrician's advice to the letter, over and above any cravings and whims they may have. In addition to leading a healthy lifestyle, future mums must also take a series of tests during their pregnancy to check on the normal development of their foetus. Some of the screening tests which make up the pre-natal testing programme are simple examinations. All pregnant women usually have the following performed during pregnancy:
□ Ultrasound: this is used to check that the baby is developing normally.
□ Blood test: the presence of certain substances can be detected through a blood test—such as the pregnancy-associated plasma protein A—which will alert your obstetrician to a possible foetal abnormality.
INVASIVE TESTS
In addition to the usual medical tests, your doctor may advise you to take some other, more invasive diagnostic testing if:
• you are over 35 years of age
• you have a history of miscarriages
• you or the father suffer from some type of genetic disorder
• previous tests (ultrasound or blood tests) have indicated possible abnormalities
