Why Have Prenatal Screening?

The information from prenatal screening can help you make informed decisions and personalize your care during pregnancy. Some screening tests are a choice while others are recommended.  

Prenatal screening can help you and a health-care provider:  

Better understand the health of your pregnancy and baby 

Know which tests and treatments are right for you 

Make important decisions about your pregnancy options 

Plan the safest place to have your baby 

Prenatal screening can also help you feel empowered to have important discussions with a health-care provider about receiving the right care for you and your pregnancy.
