Down syndrome is a negative sign that means healthy?

Patient's question:

I went for a prenatal check-up today. The test for Down syndrome was negative. I'm worried that the baby might get this disease.

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women should relax and not be too anxious. Pregnant women are not high-risk pregnant women. If she has undergone screening for Down syndrome, it can be said that the risk is basically at a relatively low level. Therefore, there is no need for pregnant women to worry excessively about this, as it may affect the pregnancy process. Because we know that excessive anxiety in mothers during pregnancy can also affect the development of the child's personality.
