Chorionic villus sampling is an examination we conduct on the placenta to ensure that the baby is growing healthy and strong.
Chorionic villus sampling is a small inspection we perform on the placenta. We take a tiny piece of tissue to analyze and ensure the baby grows healthy and strong.
Chorionic villus sampling is performed between week 10 and week 13 of your pregnancy. It’s an ideal time to obtain valuable information about your baby’s health.
Usually, we use a local anesthetic to numb the area of the abdomen where the needle will be inserted.
Like any procedure of this kind, there is minimal risk. According to some research, the risk of fetal loss is low, between 0.2% and 2%. However, at ONNA Medical, we take all necessary precautions to minimize any risk.
We primarily perform it to learn more about your little one’s health. It helps us detect early on if there is any risk of genetic or chromosomal conditions.
With this test, we can determine if there are risks of conditions such as Down syndrome or Edwards syndrome, among others. The idea is to stay one step ahead and be prepared for anything.
Basically, we insert an excellent needle through your abdomen or, in some cases, a probe through the cervix. We do all of this under the guidance of an ultrasound to ensure everything goes smoothly.
The procedure itself is pretty quick, taking only a few minutes. But you’ll have more time to prepare and for follow-up afterward.
Yes, it is an invasive method. We introduce a needle or probe to obtain the sample. But you don’t need to worry; our maternal-fetal specialists have extensive experience performing chorionic villus sampling, and the risk is virtually nonexistent.
Results are usually available 12 to 15 days after the sample is taken. Once validated, we will send them to your email and to your doctor.
