Patient's question:
I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Is there a relationship between Down syndrome babies and a pregnant woman's weight?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome screening is used to identify children with Down syndrome, which is a common congenital fetal malformation often seen in clinical practice. Generally, we recommend performing the test between the 14th and 20th weeks of pregnancy. This is irrelevant! It has absolutely no relation to it. The gender of the fetus cannot influence the condition of the pregnant woman's body. This is primarily determined by the hormone levels in the pregnant woman's body. For example, can a woman's endocrine disorder leading to the growth of facial hair indicate that she is male? Clearly, that is impossible.
