WHEN our GrANDMoTHErS WErE pregnant, they had little idea of the baby growing inside them. Due dates were not much more than an informed guess and, if anything was wrong with their baby, they would normally have no idea until the birth.

How times have changed. Now pregnancy has become high-tech, allowing prospective parents to see and learn a lot about their babies even before they are born.

This doesn’t just serve an expectant mother’s curiosity. Modern scans and antenatal tests mean that medical conditions can now be detected with greater accuracy than ever before.

“One of the most significant breakthroughs has been with testing for the genetic condition Down’s Syndrome,” says Dean Meredith, Lead Sonographer at The Portland Hospital.

“Until now the only options were a blood test and scans called nuchal translucency.”

“If, after they are carried out, the pregnancy is deemed to be high risk – a risk of one in 250 or over - then expectant mothers are offered either an amniocentesis test during which fluid is extracted from the womb with a needle or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). This involves taking a sample of the placenta either with a needle

through the womb or with a tube inserted into the vagina. Both come with a risk of infection or miscarriage and that’s not the only down side.”

“Using either method picks up 93 per cent of Down’s babies but there are seven per cent who do not get detected, whose pregnancy progresses with the mother thinking that she is at low risk,” says Mr Donald Gibb, a Consultant Obstetrician at The Portland and at The Birth Company based in Harley Street.

Now it is possible to use a blood test which gives a greater degree of accuracy without the risk of harm to the unborn baby.

“It is revolutionary - in the thirty years I have been in maternity care this is the

biggest advance that we have seen,” says Mr Gibb.

The blood test, known under various names such as Non Invasive Prenatal Testing (N.I.P.T.) or The Harmony Test, is carried out after 10 weeks of pregnancy along with a scan.

“A blood test is taken and tested for DNA from the baby – which will come from the placenta,” says Mr Gibb.

Its accuracy rate is over 99 per cent, yet it is also totally non-invasive. As well as testing for Down’s, it can pick up other conditions such as Edward Syndrome and Patau Syndrome.

The only drawback, apart from the cost of £600, is that it takes two weeks for the results to come back from the laboratory and in one in 30 cases not enough of the baby’s DNA will be found in the blood sample and there will have to be a repeat test (performed without additional cost).

But it’s not just tests that have moved on. Scans too have become increasingly sophisticated.

It is now possible to get a 3D-image of your baby in the womb or even a 4D-moving image.

“The 4D moving images are useful for looking at heart defects while the baby is still in the womb – as it helps to see the heart actually moving – and tells us

GiftsA baby shower is a great way for a mother-to-be to acquire

all the baby kit she needs. But to prevent ending up with a

cupboard-full of dryclean-only newborn garments that may

not even be to your taste, keep things simple with a gift list.

Guests are often grateful for the guidance, and the mother-to-

be can work through her checklist of essentials. What’s more,

everything can be ordered online and delivered at once.

Try John Lewis for a good US-style gift list, with an excellent

return policy.

For expectant mums on their second, third or even fourth

baby, the party is more of a ‘Baby Sprinkle’ than baby shower,

says Amy Edwards of Blooming Baby Showers.

In that instance, she says, a gift list is not necessary, but

“a sprinkling of more indulgent gifts or pampering treats

is well-received!”

BABY SHOwERBy Tamara Abraham

THE bAby SHoWEr IS A MoDErN pregnancy rite of passage, and now it has well and truly hit the UK.

But for those landed with the responsibility of planning such an event – usually a sister or close friend - the list of tasks can be daunting. When, exactly, should a baby shower be held? Who should be invited? And what on earth is the protocol for gifts?

The third trimester is generally considered the best time for a baby shower – but not too late – if the guest of honour goes into labour early, you may be forced to cancel your plans altogether! Four to eight weeks before the due date is about ideal.

“It’s lovely if the mum-to-be really looks like one - the bigger the bump the better!” says American-born, London-based mum and parenting writer Ashley Pearson. “It underscores what it’s really about - celebrating someone that hasn’t arrived yet. And the more their presence is felt, the better.”

The guest list should be kept relatively small, with no more than 12 guests, she adds.

“I suggest you invite people that are in your inner circle only. It may be tempting to go for large numbers as you mentally tick off all that you still need to buy for the baby, but it will take away from the specialness of the day,” Ashley says.

Some mums-to-be with several different groups of friends might even have multiple baby showers, says Kimberley Firth of Blossom Mother and Child.

“If family is far away there could be separate showers – one for local friends and family and another for the family back home,” she says. “Work colleagues may also want to throw a scaled down baby shower.”

The baby shower should be a stress-free experience for the mother-to-be, and the lion’s share of the organising should be taken out of her hands. If a close friend or family member is not able to take on the task, consider hiring a professional.

Amy Edwards is one such planner at Blooming Baby Showers. She says there isn’t a set format for a baby shower but they are traditionally girly affairs held in the afternoon.

“In my experience, baby showers tend to have an afternoon tea party theme ideally in the garden enjoying the sunshine, but as we live in England, this can’t always be the case!” she says.

“Lots of people also celebrate with a lunch or evening event which can be more formal.”

Food, of course, is key at any party and a baby shower is no different. Great finger food is usually a winner with a girly crowd – and a sensational dessert to round the day off.

And don’t forget to provide some bubbly – just because the mother-to-be can’t drink, it doesn’t mean her guests won’t. A fresh lemonade with ginger or strawberries will be a hit with the non-drinkers too.

Ashley says one thing the mother-to-be should consider is splashing out on a new dress – she’ll be centre of attention after all – and will be in every photo. It may also be worth getting your hair and make-up professionally done on the morning of the event.

BABY SHOwER

GamesGames add a fun dynamic to the party and make it about more than just gifts and food. They also help return focus to the impending arrival. Steer clear of anything tacky though, and stick to ideas that sober grown-ups won’t feel too silly playing. Here are three of the best:

• WAGErS: A simple wall chart and pen are all you need for guests to guess the baby’s arrival date, weight and sex. Guests can bet money (just attach an envelope to the wall chart), or just compete for the glory of being right.

• bAby PHoToS: Test the mother-to-be on how well she knows her friends, by asking guests to each bring a baby photo. They can be displayed on a wall (a ribbon and wooden washing pegs look sweet) and the mum can guess who each baby photo belongs to.

• THE NAME GAME: Each guest must try and think of the worst possible name to go with the unborn baby’s surname. Take a lead from Bart Simpson’s prank calls to Moe’s Tavern for especially hilarious results.www.bloomingbabyshowers.co.uk, www.blossommotherandchild.com
