Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: This indicator can only be checked between the 15th and 21st weeks of pregnancy. It is primarily used to determine the likelihood of the baby having Down syndrome. It can only be used as a reference and should not be considered definitive. Moreover, whether this test is necessary depends on your medical condition, as determined by your doctor. A blood test is required for this examination, which is usually performed alongside other blood tests. The results are then combined with your recent ultrasound to determine the risk for the baby.
Advice: It is worth noting that a high risk factor does not necessarily mean a greater level of harm. The results of the triple test are not 100% accurate. However, many people undergo this test due to concerns about potential brain development issues in their child. This test is not entirely accurate either, but it may provide some psychological comfort.
