Monitoring in utero factors is critical for early detection and intervention. Key methods include:
Ultrasound: Regular ultrasounds help monitor fetal growth and detect anomalies. Blood Tests: Maternal blood tests can screen for infections and genetic conditions. Amniocentesis: This procedure involves sampling the amniotic fluid to diagnose genetic disorders. Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT): NIPT analyzes fetal DNA in the mother's blood to screen for chromosomal abnormalities.
