Other investigations
Ultrasound: A safe investigation done to doubly confirm the status of the pregnancy and also ensure the normal growth of the fetus.
Amnionic villi sampling: Done only in elderly women who are pregnant to rule out Downs syndrome. Sometime it is used to rule out other hereditary or congenital condition. However there is some risk associated with the procedure.
Genetic counseling: Genetic counseling is done to identify individuals with greater risk of producing children with any genetic abnormalities.

Hi, i am 13 weeks pregnant now. I have missed taking folic acid tablets that is prescribed during my first trimester many times. Will that affect the growth of baby of health in any way.
I am 30 years and late for my periods like 7 days.(usually i have irregular periods ranging from 30 to 37 days). I was sexually active from 30th day of my cycle. Could i be pregnant? i did the home test and found to be negative.
Considering the date you were sexually active, it is likely that you are not pregnant. 7 days delay is not enough for you to conclude, you need to wait for 10-12days before conclusion. However, the test is necessary.
Hi, I'm 38 years old and suspect that I'm pregnant 'coz I'm a week delayed.My LMP was 02/13/10 and I was waiting for my next period to arrive on 03/15/10 but it didn't. I'm afraid to do home PT because several years ago, I was a month delayed and my period came when I was about to do home PT and felt depressed. I feel weak lately and not much of an appetite for breakfast and looking for food that would satisfy me. In case, this would be my first pregnancy after 9 years of marriage.
