Patient's question:
Can a pregnancy at four and a half months still undergo the Down syndrome screening? If it can, what should be done on the day of the test?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, generally it is advisable to perform this kind of test around the 16th week of pregnancy. Suggestions: The purpose of the triple screen test is to determine the risk level of the fetus having Down syndrome by examining the pregnant woman's blood. If the triple screen test results indicate a high risk of the fetus having Down syndrome, further confirmatory tests such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling should be conducted.
