The test can be done from 10 weeks and is a single blood draw from the mother’s arm and poses no threat to the fetus. The NIPT can also confirm the gender of a single pregnancy and is more accurate than an ultrasound and picking up abnormalities in very early pregnancy. The results are available in 3-5 working days.
