What is Prenatal Screening?

During pregnancy, prenatal screening tests help check if there is a chance that your pregnancy and/or baby have certain health conditions or complications. The results of these tests are used to personalize the care you receive in pregnancy. 

While everyone may make different choices about prenatal screening, it’s important to be informed. Prenatal Screening Ontario (PSO) has made this resource to help you have meaningful conversations about your screening pathway with a health-care provider and your support people.
