Patient's question:
Did I eat watermelon the day before doing the Down syndrome screening? Can I still do it now? Is it accurate?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, the Down syndrome screening is usually performed between weeks 16-20 of pregnancy, primarily to check for trisomy 21. Eating watermelon before the test does not have a significant impact.Suggestions: If the test results show low risk, it is normal. High risk indicates a higher chance of carrying a child with Down syndrome. Further amniocentesis testing can be considered in this case.
