Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Currently it's 1:200, the risk is relatively high, but it doesn't mean that the child will definitely have Down syndrome. However, for safety's sake, raising a normal child is already very expensive and demanding in terms of both money and energy. If it were actually Down syndrome, it would absolutely not be a pleasant or easy thing for a family. It's not necessary to do an amniocentesis and fetal chromosome analysis, but considering the future happiness of life and the child's happiness, it's still worth doing.The risk of amniocentesis is fetal injury (this is done under ultrasound monitoring, so it generally doesn't happen), miscarriage, and amniotic fluid embolism, but the incidence rates are very low. Compared to the risk of giving birth to a child with Down syndrome, these risks from the are not something that needs to be considered.
