I saw on the news the other night that they have developed in Australia a new ante natal testing technique for assessing embryo/fetal genetic profile for early diagnosis of problems. It is said to be safe for mother and baby and involves taking cells from the mother's cervix which have been found to have the fetal genetic profile - although how fetal cells would get on the cervix is beyond me unless they are shed from the gestational sac and are pushed out through the mucus plug.
Great for avoiding amniocentisis and CVS but I must admit to wondering how soon it will be before this test becomes as routine as 12 and 20 week ultrasounds etc.
