What Is the NIPT Test — and Why It’s Becoming So Popular

The Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT) is one of the most accurate and stress-free ways to screen your baby for chromosomal conditions such as Down’s Syndrome. It’s a simple blood test taken from the mother, which analyses fragments of the baby’s DNA.

At New Road Clinic, we offer both NIPT Absolute and NIPT Advanced — two highly accurate options available from just 10 weeks of pregnancy. The test poses no risk to mother or baby and can also reveal your baby’s gender if you choose.

Results are typically available within a few days, giving parents valuable peace of mind early in pregnancy. Our specialists guide you through every step, explaining what your results mean and what to expect next.

If you’re considering an NIPT test, contact New Road Clinic in Limerick today to learn more or schedule your appointment.
