Women are routinely offered a variety of genetic screening tests during their first three months of pregnancy to evaluate the risk for genetic disorders in their unborn baby. The first trimester screening tests are usually done between the 10th and 13th week of pregnancy. They involve measuring the level of certain substances in the mother's blood and obtaining an ultrasound. Genetic screening tests can be done during the second trimester as well. Information from these screening tests, along with other risk factors such as a woman's age and a couple's ethnic background and family history of genetic disorders, are used to help calculate the odds that the fetus might be born with genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease, or sickle cell anemia.
