Is my baby healthy?
Mothers eat healthy, driven sport, regularly go for screening - and besides all still feel joy sometimes fear. Relief from such worries promises to prenatal diagnosis: investigations, a number of diseases before birth can reveal. Doctors are pregnant women over 35 are routinely pointed out, because with the age of the mother increases the risk of a child with Down syndrome to get. Even if it is in the family are hereditary diseases, the doctor about the possibility of prenatal diagnosis information.
Important: The tests are not routine and no obligation. The decision whether you want an investigation, is yours. You should be before the diagnosis about why you want it - and the choices you can send. I will accept a disabled child? Or I will decide for an abortion?
For women who want to abort any case, make Triple-test, chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis little sense. But the denial of prenatal diagnosis requires courage and self-esteem. Many pregnant women feel their decision alone, or even challenged. From an environment for "a handicapped child does not need", but also by their husbands and families. Before each prenatal diagnostics pregnant therefore need an independent, sensitive counseling. It aims chance and limits of the gaze into the abdomen show. For most mothers are the results of the tests complacency. You can then pregnant with less fear enjoy.

What you should remember
- Some risks for the baby to doctors in the womb avert such transmissions through blood, drug or surgical treatment.
- Parents, who also accept a disabled child, you can already before the birth of offers of help inform
- The investigations are not a guarantee of a healthy baby. Many disabilities are caused by disorders of the mother during pregnancy and complications at birth.
- The wait for the results of the parent-child relationship negatively influence. Can the expectant mother happy if they restrict the movements of the babies feel - as long as they do not know if it ever wants to retain? Studies have shown that such contradictory feelings of the parent the child's development can hamper.
- The detection of a disability often says nothing about their degrees. Even children with Down syndrome develop differently.
- An abortion after an amniocentesis in the fifth month means that the medication doctors guided a premature birth and the woman is experiencing a normal birth.
* Chorionic villus sampling: Due to the abdominal wall of the vagina or her Zottengewebe is collected, which is on the outside of Keimblase forms. This tissue, the precursor of the placenta, contains childlike cells. They are on chromosome disorders (such as Down syndrome) as well as muscle, blood and metabolic diseases investigated. The biopsy is already among the 8th and 10 Weeks, the diagnosis is made immediately or within a few days. Fehlgeburtsrisiko: one to two percent (according to some studies may still be slightly higher).
* Amniocentesis: With a Punktionsnadel takes the doctor through the abdominal wall through amniotic fluid of pregnant women. Its floating cells of babies are investigated. It provides approximately the same information as chorionic villus sampling, are also neural tube (such as open back) to recognize. Deadline: between the 13th and 18 Week, after the diagnosis is two to three weeks. Fehlgeburtsrisiko: one to two percent.
* Triple test: The concentration of certain hormones and proteins in the blood of the mother changes during pregnancy. That and the age of the mother, doctors calculate their statistical risk of a handicapped child to get. The blood test is controversial because it gives only vague hints. Certainty get pregnant then only through a amniocentesis. Deadline: 14 to 16 Week.
* First-trimester scan: A combination of blood and ultrasound examination, which more and more doctors to offer. Again, only mothers learn whether their personal risk of a child with a disability to get higher or lower than the other women in her age group. Amniocentesis is only one certainty.
* Ultrasound: Some malformations of organs and body parts to doctors during the three routine ultrasound examinations recognize.
