Regarding if you want to have an amniocentesis, do you still need to have the Down syndrome screening?

Patient's question:

Due to undergoing X-ray exposure during pregnancy, I am unsure if it has affected the fetus.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: If you do an amniocentesis, you don't need to do the Down syndrome screening.
Suggestions: This can be directly checked to confirm whether there is Down syndrome. It is recommended that you have prenatal examinations during pregnancy. Every 4 weeks for prenatal examinations before 36 weeks, and once a week after 36 weeks. During pregnancy, pay attention to nutrition. Supplement folic acid in the first 3 months, and start supplementing calcium, iron, and other trace elements needed by the body from the 4th month.
