A hot topic and a sensitive one for parents is given practical and supportive advice in this NCT guide
Couples need accurate information in order to be able to give informed consent to antenatal testing. Ultrasound, amniocentesis and other tests can be emotive issues and sensitive times.
This book discusses with the help of useful case studies and enough scientific information to be of genuine help and not confusing:
• whether tests reassure parents or create even more anxiety
• benefits of foreknowledge
• why parents with a familial history of congenital or genetic disorders might wish to choose testing
• how do you decide which tests to have?
• what the tests entail and when you have them
• risks involved in having certain tests
• how long you have to wait for results
