I know, I'm certainly not one to get excited over prenatal tests because, well... Natural Birth and Baby Care is sort of focused on the "natural" side of things, with little testing...
But this test really is remarkable. It's a test for Rh- mothers who are facing choices about Rhogam. The test is a blood test that will tell you, prenatally, if your baby is Rh- or Rh+. It also tells you your baby's gender, if you want to know ;) This test can be done far earlier than the first suggeted dose of Rhogam - so you have plenty of time to research the shot. I've done a Q&A session with one of the developers of the test here:
