Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: A high risk of Down syndrome only indicates a higher probability of the fetus being a Down syndrome child, but it does not mean the child is definitely. Suggestions: It is best to undergo prenatal diagnosis to determine the chromosomal status of the fetus. After birth, diagnosis is of little significance. Raising a child with intellectual disabilities is certainly not an enjoyable or happy thing.
