Q: What is the NIPT?

A: The Non-Invasive Prenatal Test is the newest option in prenatal screening. It’s a simple blood test that looks at tiny fragments of your baby’s DNA to assess the chance of:

• Down syndrome (Trisomy 21)
• Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 13
• X and Y chromosome conditions

Pregnancy Week 20:

You’re now halfway through your pregnancy, and your baby is about the size of a courgette — around 16.5cm from head to bottom.

This week often marks the mid-pregnancy anatomy scan, where detailed checks are done on your baby’s brain, heart, spine, kidneys, limbs, and more. It’s a key milestone that can bring reassurance or highlight areas for extra support.

You may also start to feel more defined movements — gentle flutters turning into unmistakable kicks.

Your uterus is now at the level of your belly button, and you might notice changes in your skin, hair, or circulation.

Take time to rest when needed and nourish your body — you’re doing something extraordinary.

Why might a repeat sample be necessary for the NIPT?

There needs to be enough fetal DNA in the maternal blood to be able to provide a result. If there is insufficient fetal DNA in the sample (which occurs in 2% of cases), another blood sample from the mother may be required. This will be processed in the laboratory at no extra charge.

Week 22 💛
Your baby is now about the size of a papaya – almost 11 inches long and close to one pound. A tiny newborn in the making! Their pancreas is starting to work, they can hear your voice and heartbeat, and even tiny tooth buds are forming.

You might notice more stretch marks, leg cramps or heartburn around now – all common, but always mention any concerns to your own doctor or midwife.

"I was here last week for the harmony test and the staff were lovely, were friendly. We had arrived late as we had another appointment in Holles St but the staff were completely understanding and we were still seen straight away instead of having to rebook which wouldn't be ideal as we travelled from Waterford."

Pregnancy Diary Week 17: How Is Your Baby Growing?
By this time, your baby starts swallowing and sucking. Her brain begins to control her heart which is now beating at a rate of 140-150 beats per minute. This could be twice as your heart rate! Also, the baby can now move her joints and her sweat glands are now getting functional. She is about the size of a pear.

Fat tissues or adipose are now forming in the baby’s body. These tissues are beneficial in regulating the metabolism and temperature of the body. Even the baby’s umbilical cord is lengthening and getting thicker. The brain is also developing the baby’s sense of touch, smell, taste and sight. If you are having a baby girl, please be informed that her ovaries are now producing millions of egg cells (primordial) which can develop into actual eggs later on!
