1. Genetic testing: This test is used to see if there is a chance for a child to develop some sort of disorder.
2. Lung testing: This test is done to see if the baby’s lungs are mature enough for birth.
3. Foetal infection diagnostics: This test is also done to see if there is some infectious disease to the baby. Furthermore, this test can also be done to see if the baby has developed anemia or any other illness.
4. As a treatment: There can be a case where the amniotic acid build-up is just too much. In such cases, amniocentesis can be used to drain the access amount of amniotic fluid.
Now, any form of prenatal test is actually necessary. However, if the mother is above 35 years of age, they should opt for this form of test. The other times that you need this test are:
1. If the family has a history of certain genetic condition
2. The ultrasound findings are abnormal.
3. The mother has some sort of chromosomal condition
4. If the prenatal screening tests are worrisome to some degree, then this test should be taken.
