Now I'm 5 and a half months pregnant. Can I still do the Down syndrome test?

Patient's question:

Now I am 5 and a half months pregnant. Can I still do the screening for Down syndrome? If I do a 4D ultrasound now, do I still need to do the screening for Down syndrome?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello, according to the description, the Down syndrome screening cannot be done. It is usually performed around the 16th to 20th week of pregnancy.
Recommendation: It has been more than five and a half months, so it is too late to do it. You can have a 4D ultrasound instead, but the 4D ultrasound cannot determine whether it is Down syndrome. Hope this helps you.
