Difference between Pregnancy and Prenatal testing

Pregnancy vs. Prenatal testing

Pregnancy, also known as gestation, is the time during which one or more offspring develops inside a woman. Prenatal testing consists of prenatal screening and prenatal diagnosis, which are aspects of prenatal care that focus on detecting problems with the pregnancy as early as possible.

Similarities between Pregnancy and Prenatal testing

Pregnancy and Prenatal testing have 26 things in common (in Unionpedia): Abortion, American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Birth defect, Diabetes mellitus, Down syndrome, Ectopic pregnancy, Embryo, Fetus, Fundal height, Gestational age, Gestational diabetes, Human chorionic gonadotropin, Human embryogenesis, In vitro fertilisation, Multiple birth, Nuchal scan, Obstetric ultrasonography, Physiology, Placenta, Postterm pregnancy, Pre-eclampsia, Prenatal care, Spina bifida, Transvaginal oocyte retrieval, Uterus, Zygote.

Abortion

Abortion is the ending of pregnancy by removing an embryo or fetus before it can survive outside the uterus.

Fundal height

Fundal height, or McDonald's rule, is a measure of the size of the uterus used to assess fetal growth and development during pregnancy.

Gestational age

Gestational age is a measure of the age of a pregnancy which is taken from the woman's last menstrual period (LMP), or the corresponding age of the gestation as estimated by a more accurate method if available.

Human chorionic gonadotropin

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by the placenta after implantation.

In vitro fertilisation

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process of fertilisation where an egg is combined with sperm outside the body, in vitro ("in glass").

Multiple birth

A multiple birth is the culmination of one multiple pregnancy, wherein the mother delivers two or more offspring.

Nuchal scan

A nuchal scan or nuchal translucency (NT) scan/procedure is a sonographic prenatal screening scan (ultrasound) to detect cardiovascular abnormalities in a fetus, though altered extracellular matrix composition and limited lymphatic drainage can also be detected.

Obstetric ultrasonography

Obstetric ultrasonography is the use of medical ultrasonography in pregnancy, in which sound waves are used to create real-time visual images of the developing embryo or fetus in its mother's uterus (womb).

Physiology

Physiology is the scientific study of normal mechanisms, and their interactions, which work within a living system.

Placenta

The placenta is an organ that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall to allow nutrient uptake, thermo-regulation, waste elimination, and gas exchange via the mother's blood supply; to fight against internal infection; and to produce hormones which support pregnancy.

Postterm pregnancy

Postterm pregnancy is the condition of a baby that has not yet been born after 42 weeks of gestation, two weeks beyond the normal 40.

Pre-eclampsia

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a disorder of pregnancy characterized by the onset of high blood pressure and often a significant amount of protein in the urine.

Transvaginal oocyte retrieval

Transvaginal oocyte retrieval (TVOR), also referred to as oocyte retrieval (OCR), is a technique used in in vitro fertilization (IVF) in order to remove oocytes from the ovary of a woman, enabling fertilization outside the body.

Uterus

The uterus (from Latin "uterus", plural uteri) or womb is a major female hormone-responsive secondary sex organ of the reproductive system in humans and most other mammals.

Zygote

A zygote (from Greek ζυγωτός zygōtos "joined" or "yoked", from ζυγοῦν zygoun "to join" or "to yoke") is a eukaryotic cell formed by a fertilization event between two gametes.
