'carefully and sensitively written... Which Tests for My Baby is a much-needed guide to prenatal diagnosis. Any woman expecting a baby, or thinking about having a baby, will find the well-illustrated book invaluable and reassuring' The Birmingham Post
'gives you all the detail you could want, particularly regarding ultrasound. Written in easy-to-understand language, minus the medical jargon' Parents
'Here's everything you meant to ask you doctor about your unborn baby - in a simple, easy-to-follow format. Fascinating reading, whether you're pregnant or not.' Woman
'informative and up-to-date book ... Which Tests For My Unborn Baby is, as it claims, essential reading for parents-to-be and those who counsel them.' Herts Advertiser
Product Description
Recent advances in medical technology have made it possible to test babies before birth to detect abnormalities or complications. While providing patients with a new set of options, prenatal diagnosis has become one of the most controversial areas of medicine. This book cuts through the sensationalism to give a clear outline of the techniques available and the main ones in use. By setting out the options and the factors involved, the main aim is to encourage informed decision making. The authors have quoted from a number of people who have used the procedures; this anecdotal material, plus the question-and-answer section at the end of each chapter, give an extra personal dimension.
