The doctor, you, your sister-in-law, and the baby are already 17 weeks pregnant. Today, you went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up and had a Down syndrome screening. The doctor said it could be inferred whether the fetus has congenital idiocy and neural tube defects. How accurate is the Down syndrome screening?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description: In cases like yours, the accuracy of the Down syndrome screening within the specified time frame is very, very high. In some regions, the Down syndrome screening conducted at maternal and child health family planning departments is free of charge. To have a healthy and intelligent baby, it is recommended to increase nutrition, pay attention to rest, undergo regular prenatal and fetal anomaly examinations, and maintain a positive mood during pregnancy, which is beneficial for the healthy development of the fetus.
