Patient's question:
I had a cold when I was pregnant for more than two months. At that time, I didn't take any cold medicine and let it heal on its own. At 20 weeks, I had a screening for Down syndrome, and the test results showed that I was at the critical point. I was very worried that the baby might have Down syndrome. What should I do if the screening risk for Down syndrome is high?Doctor's answer:
Generally, this situation has no impact. If the risk is particularly high, the doctor may recommend additional tests to ensure that if the doctor does not recommend it, the effect will generally not be significant. During pregnancy, it is essential to pay close attention to rest and maintain a positive mood, as this will benefit the fetus and promote its growth and development. Daily, it is important to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, which also helps in the baby's development.
