A risk factor is also calculated for the development of Preeclampsia, Intrauterine growth restriction and preterm delivery.
This test does NOT test the DNA itself.

Anica Rossouw
I am a qualified and passionate sonographer who started my career in Pretoria as a radiographer at the Little Company of Mary hospital while studying and completing my degree during this time. I completed my community service at the Potchefstroom Hospital in 2009, which was a busy and extremely rewarding time.
My desire to always learn new things inspired me to complete my ultrasound degree at the University of Johannesburg in 2012. In 2013 I relocated to East London and worked at a Radiology practice until 2015 and then moved to Port Elizabeth where I started working at the Fetal Ultrasound Center. This is where I developed a great passion working with parents-to-be and showing them their tiny little miracle and at the same time applying my knowledge in detecting abnormalities or pathology intra-uterine.
I reside in George with my husband and three precious daughters. Being a mom myself I know the joy, excitement and love of seeing your little unborn baby for the first time. I love every second of my career and will always cherish being part of such a beautiful miracle.
