From the previous edition: carefully and sensitively written... Which Tests for My Baby is a much-needed guide to prenatal diagnosis. Any woman expecting a baby, or thinking about having a baby, will find the well-illustrated book invaluable and reassuring The Birmingham Post
Product Description
Recent advances in medical technology have made it possible to test babies before birth to detect abnormalities or complications. While providing parents with a new set of options, prenatal diagnosis has become one of the most controversial areas of medicine. This book cuts through the sensationalism to give a clear outline of the techniques available and the main ones in use, By setting out the options and the factors involved, the main aim is to encourage informed decision-making. The authors have quoted from a number of people who have used the procedures; this anecdotal material, plus the question-and-answer section at the end of each chapter, give an extra personal dimension. This new edition incldues up-to-date information on clinical advances in ultrasound testing. New and better ultrasounds are used to illustrate the text, The authors have added new material on the ethics and quality of newer forms of testing, and on testing for Down Syndrome.

a detailed overview of prenatal tests and their implication
23 Jun 1998
Format:Paperback
When I bought this book, I had received a ++ screening test for chromosomal abnormality through an early ultrasound. I looked in ALL of the standard pregnancy books fora mention of this protocol ~ none did. It is a new protocol, and somewhat rare, but that makes it all the more frightening. This book helped me to familiariaze myself with the tests and their implications. I suppose nobody "wants" tohave to buy a book like this, but at a scary, confusing time, it was extremely helpful
