Just seen the news and....

Pregnant women could soon be able to tell whether their unborn baby has Down's Syndrome without being at risk of damaging the foetus thanks to a new scientific development.

At the moment, women have to undergo an amniocentesis - where a long needle is inserted into the womb to take a sample of fluid – however, it does carry a small risk of miscarriage.

Scientists in America have developed a safer test than current procedures. The new technique is as simple as having a blood test.

On the channel 5 website if anyone wants to know anymore
