Patient's question:
This is my third child, but I am still cautious as if it were my first pregnancy. Today, I went for a prenatal check-up, and the doctor said I need to have a DNA test. I have never had this kind of test before. After the non-invasive test, what kind of check-up should I do next?Doctor's answer:
According to your description: if there is a thorough check during the 12th week of pregnancy and the fetus's neck is relatively thick and translucent, or if there is a high-risk result from the triple screen test around the 17th week of pregnancy, it is necessary to undergo a non-invasive DNA test or an amniocentesis test. This is a preventive check for congenital neural tube defects in children and a preventive check for child idiocy. This test is of great significance.
