Abstract

Diagnostic prenatal invasive testing currently forms an integral and extremely significant component of the practice of obstetric care and has a twofold purpose. The primary aim is to offer management options and informed decision making to pregnant women and their companions. The secondary aim is to ensure that every fetus has an optimal outcome. Currently, most professional societies offer guidelines on prenatal invasive testing based on specific indications. Society of Fetal Medicine (SFM) clinical practice recommendations are developed for use by all practitioners of fetal and maternal healthcare. They are intended to facilitate a reasonable standard of care by the entire medical community. Practitioners are encouraged to go beyond these standards in relevant clinical situations. This document has been drafted after extensive inputs and discussions by practitioners and experts, followed by a consensus.
