Prenatal gender tests are accurate at determining the baby’s gender before birth. Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association affirms that upon analysis of a mother’s blood for fetal DNA after seven weeks into the pregnancy, the baby’s gender can be known. Couples expecting a baby may have different reasons to know the sex of their unborn child.
In this blog post, we highlight several reasons that can motivate a couple to opt for the clinical gender blood test.
Helpful In Family Planning
The news of pregnancy is a euphoric moment for couples. Likewise, getting to know about your baby’s gender before birth can double up the excitement. Is it a boy or a girl? Kudos to the new Gender DNA blood test procedure, it is now possible for couples to answer these questions before the baby’s birth. With an accuracy of over 99%, the tests are gaining popularity as they open doors to effective family planning.
On the backdrop of test results, parents can easily plan their child’s future as it adds more clarity to their thought process. Parents can prepare a roadmap of how to raise their child depending upon the gender.
Detecting Genetic Disorders
An early gender blood test can let parents know about any genetic disorder in the baby. For example, certain genetic disorders are linked to the X chromosome that may adversely affect the males, as their XY chromosome would lack the backup ‘X’ that females have. Depending upon the results, families can go for amniocentesis, where the fluid that cushions the fetus in the womb is extracted and tested.
Any abnormality detected doesn’t mean that its the end of the world for parents-to-be. The doctors can diagnose genetic disorders and start treatment for the illnesses.
