Patient's question:
I am 30 years old and just found out I am pregnant with my first child. I was already considered an older mother, and then there was a borderline risk of Down syndrome screening during pregnancy. Can I still have the baby?Doctor's answer:
The accuracy of the Down syndrome screening is not very high. Your result is a critical risk. In this case, it is generally recommended to undergo further non-invasive DNA testing or amniocentesis to rule out abnormalities. If no abnormalities are detected after further testing, it may be possible to consider having a baby. It is recommended to follow the advice of your local doctor. During pregnancy, it is still advisable to pay more attention to rest and diet, ensuring they are light and nutritious.
