Patient's question:
Now I am 15 weeks pregnant and had a thorough check-up at the hospital. The results of the Down syndrome screening were 1:270. I don't know if this result is normal or not, and I'm a bit worried about whether the child might be affected. Could you please help me understand this result? Is the Down syndrome screening result normal?Doctor's answer:
This Down syndrome screening result is slightly high. It is recommended that you undergo further careful examination, including amniocentesis. You must strictly follow the doctor's advice for prenatal care. If any abnormal conditions are detected in the baby, it is important to terminate the early pregnancy in a timely manner. During pregnancy, it is essential to maintain emotional stability, consume more high-protein and high-vitamin foods, which aid digestion and nutrition, and promote the healthy growth and development of the baby. Avoid catching colds and working overtime.
