Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am two months pregnant. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and all the indicators were good. The doctor asked me to come back later for the Down syndrome screening. This is my first pregnancy, and I have no experience. What I would like to consult is at what stage of pregnancy should the Down syndrome screening be done? I would appreciate it if the doctor could guide me.Doctor's answer:
Around four months of pregnancy, you can go to the hospital for this kind of thorough examination. Women during pregnancy need to cooperate with the doctor for additional prenatal examinations at various stages. It is recommended to pay appropriate attention to rest. Down syndrome screening is one way to examine this condition. Generally, it is suitable for pregnant women under the age of 35. Pregnant women below this age do not need to undergo this test, as the results are all high-risk.
