Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Prenatal 3:
Q1: How does Prenatal 3 differ from Prenatal 2 screening?
A: Prenatal 3 includes additional markers to screen for a broader range of genetic disorders compared to Prenatal 2.
Q2: Are Prenatal 3 results definitive for diagnosing anomalies?
A: Similar to Prenatal 2, it’s a screening test. Further diagnostic tests may be recommended based on results.
Q3: Can lifestyle choices affect Prenatal 3 results?
A: No, lifestyle factors typically do not influence these screening tests.
Q4: Can Prenatal 3 predict all potential genetic disorders?
A: No, it screens for specific markers but doesn’t cover all possible genetic anomalies.
Q5: Is it essential to undergo Prenatal 3 if Prenatal 2 results are normal?
A: Discuss with your healthcare provider. Prenatal 3 might provide further information in some cases.
