They are very helpful, especially for people who have had difficulties in previous pregnancies. They are able to have a maternal blood test done at eight weeks and know that everything is all right, so they are not waiting and dealing with the unknown. We talk about perinatal mental health, and I think the Harmony or Panorama tests offer great comfort to families.
