Patient's question:
I am currently about 11 weeks pregnant. The doctor recommended that I have a screening test for Down syndrome during my prenatal check-up. If the test shows that the baby has Down syndrome, what reactions would there be? If the baby born is a Down syndrome child, what interference would there be?Doctor's answer:
The baby you are carrying is a Down syndrome child. Down syndrome is a result of chromosomal abnormalities. After birth, the child may experience growth and development delays and intellectual disabilities. If high-risk results are detected during pregnancy, it is best to terminate the pregnancy early and no longer focus on delivering this baby. During pregnancy, undergoing a Down syndrome screening is an important prenatal test. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
