Patient's question:
What tests should be done after an abnormal chromosome pregnancy to determine if the fetus is normal? Can it be avoided before pregnancy? If it cannot be avoided, am I just taking a gamble?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, the development of a child's organs varies at different stages of pregnancy. Check-ups are necessary throughout the entire pregnancy. It is recommended to have regular prenatal examinations. At 14-19 weeks of pregnancy, an empty stomach visit to the hospital for a Down syndrome screening is advised to prevent the birth of children with congenital mental retardation. Between 22-26 weeks, a four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound can be performed for prenatal anomaly screening, which can stereoscopically display the color, face, and development of various organs of the fetus, and even the status of the fetus inside the mother's body can be observed.
