Patient's question:
Hello doctor, what is the best time in weeks to do the Down syndrome screening?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the best time for the Down syndrome screening test is between 18 and 20 weeks.Suggestions: The duration of pregnancy is generally calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. Therefore, it is best not to have the Down syndrome screening too early or too late in your case, as it may affect the test results.
After normal pregnancy, due to physiological needs, women should eat high-protein, vitamin-rich, fiber-rich, and low-salt foods, while avoiding high-fat and overly salty foods. It is advisable to consume easily digestible, rich, and juicy foods, while avoiding cold, raw, or cooling foods. Fresh fruits and vegetables should be eaten, while avoiding spicy, irritating, fishy-smelling, greasy, sticky, fried, hot, or fire-boosting foods that harm yin. Smoking and alcohol should be avoided, especially strong liquor.
