Yes, there is now the NIPT test, which is something like 99% accurate, and involves taking blood from mother and extracting fetal DNA from it.
It's more expensive than the older, inaccurate screening test, so here in the UK it isn't routinely offered to parents, or even explained to them. It's offered by private clinics though.
