Patient's question:
I am pregnant, but I don't want to have the Down syndrome screening done at the hospital. Is it okay not to have the screening during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, it is best to have regular pregnancy tests. The screening for Down syndrome is best done regularly. It is recommended to have regular check-ups during pregnancy to monitor the development of the fetus, maintain a balanced diet, and appropriately increase nutrition, especially in the second trimester. During pregnancy, it is important to maintain a good mood and engage in appropriate exercise. Prenatal check-ups during pregnancy are very crucial, mainly to understand whether the child's development is normal. It is generally still recommended to have them done.
