Doctor's answer:
Hello, the best time for the Down syndrome screening is from 14 weeks to 21 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy. It cannot be tested after 22 weeks.The pregnancy duration is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. Fasting or not fasting has no impact on the results of the Down syndrome screening. A low-risk result indicates a lower chance of the fetus having this type of congenital abnormality, while a high-risk result requires further tests such as amniocentesis or non-invasive DNA testing for a definitive diagnosis.
At five months pregnant, you can go to the hospital for the Down syndrome screening. There is no need to fast for the screening. You can go for the test after eating. It is important to maintain a balanced diet and reasonable nutrition during pregnancy. Regularly visit the hospital for check-ups, stay in a good mood, and avoid catching a cold.
