Patient's question:
I'm almost four months pregnant. The doctor said I need to undergo prenatal tests to confirm the child's intelligence or how many there are. I want to know how these tests are conducted and if they have any side effects on the mother or child.Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant, hello, I am about 4 months pregnant. The hospital recommends a thorough examination to confirm the child's intelligence, which is impossible. Intelligence is related to post-natal nurturing to a certain extent. It should be a thorough examination of the Down syndrome screening to eliminate the risk of the fetus developing trisomy 21 syndrome again. It is generally implemented between the 16th and 18th weeks of early pregnancy. It can be confirmed through a blood test whether the fetus has trisomy 21 syndrome.
