Fmf First Trimester Screen Test
Introduction to the Test
The Fmf First Trimester Screen Test is an essential prenatal diagnostic tool designed to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, such as Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), in the developing fetus during the crucial first trimester of pregnancy. Conducted between 11 to 13 weeks of gestation, this test is a non-invasive method that combines maternal blood tests with ultrasound measurements to provide expectant mothers and healthcare providers with critical information regarding fetal health.
What the Test Measures
This screening test measures specific markers in the maternal serum and evaluates ultrasound findings, including:
- Nuchal Translucency (NT)
- Crown-Rump Length (CRL)
- Nasal Bone presence
The results help estimate the risk of chromosomal disorders, allowing for early intervention if necessary.
Who Should Consider This Test
Expectant mothers should consider the Fmf First Trimester Screen Test if they:
- Are between 11 to 13 weeks pregnant (ideal between 10-13 weeks)
- Have a family history of chromosomal abnormalities
- Are over the age of 35
- Have risk factors such as diabetes, obesity, or previous pregnancies with genetic disorders
Consultation with a gynecologist is recommended to determine individual suitability for the test.
Benefits of Taking the Test

- Provides peace of mind for expectant parents.
- Helps healthcare providers prepare for any necessary interventions.
