What does it mean that the Down syndrome screening is risk-free?

Patient's question:

My brother is 13 years old this year. He is not in good health, and his mother usually takes him to the hospital. But today, his mother doesn't have the time, so I am accompanying him. However, I don't understand what it means, so I had to come to you for help. What is the meaning of this risk-free Down syndrome screening?

Doctor's answer:

If the Down syndrome screening has no risks, you don't need to worry too much. Even though it is recommended to have the Down syndrome screening between 16 and 20 weeks, it is still better to do it on time and regularly. Prenatal examinations are quite important. During pregnancy, various examinations are conducted to promptly detect many abnormal conditions for the sake of the child's health. It is advised to always maintain a calm and optimistic attitude.
