Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am currently 5 and a half months pregnant and will soon undergo the Down syndrome screening. Since this is my second child, I am not as nervous as with my first one. I haven't registered at the hospital yet, and I'm not sure if the hospital will still perform the screening without a registration card. I just wanted to ask, can I get the Down syndrome screening without a registration card?Doctor's answer:
During the obstetric examination process, a card needs to be created for future use in reproductive care. If you are not healthy, you can also undergo a Down syndrome screening. It is recommended that you go to a third-level hospital in a regular hospital. During pregnancy, you should regularly undergo obstetric examinations at the obstetrics department, eat more protein-rich foods, and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid sexual activity in the three months before and after pregnancy to prevent the possibility of miscarriage and premature birth.
