Plate 1 FISH showing Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome).

Plate 2 Pemphigoid gestationis (herpes gestationis). The generalised rash appeared at 34 weeks and responded to corticosteroids. This skin disease is rare (1 in 5-10,000 pregnancies), unique to pregnancy and of unknown aetiology. It resolves soon after delivery and may recur in successive pregnancies. Because of the increased risk of intrauterine death, fetal condition must be carefully assessed, and labour induced when the fetus is mature.
