Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up with my husband a few days ago, and the doctor recommended that I get a prenatal Down syndrome screening. These past few days, I've been very nervous and don't know what to pay attention to, so I haven't dared to do anything. I've been lying at home every day. Hello, what are the precautions for prenatal Down syndrome screening?Doctor's answer:
Generally during pregnancy, around the 16th week, you can have a detailed screening test called the triple test to check the risk of the fetus having a congenital disorder like Down syndrome. During pregnancy, it's important to rest more, exercise less, drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables, have an adequate amount of fruits, one egg per day, and a bag of milk. Make sure to attend prenatal check-ups on time, take in more calcium and iron, pay attention to hygiene, use a wet wipe for the external genital area every day, and soak your feet in warm water every night.
