Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for a while, and my body has been experiencing some abnormalities. I have some abdominal pain, irregular breathing, and feel extremely tired. I would like to schedule an NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) appointment. Which department should I register with for the NIPT?Doctor's answer:
You can go to the hospital to register for the gynecology department for a thorough check-up on non-invasive DNA, which requires at least 12 weeks after conception to conduct the test. During pregnancy, it is important to maintain a positive mood and avoid overexerting the body. You can eat more high-protein and high-fiber foods, wear loose clothing and flat shoes, keep the bedroom well-ventilated with windows open, and ensure good air circulation. Regular prenatal check-ups should be scheduled to closely monitor the child's growth and development. If any issues arise, communicate with the doctor promptly.
