Patient's question:
Currently 3 months pregnant, the doctor told me I need to have a Down syndrome screening. Do I need an ultrasound before the Down syndrome screening?Doctor's answer:
During the first three months of pregnancy, it is necessary to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to check whether the gestational sac is developing normally at this stage and the position of the gestational sac. Single or multiple pregnancies can be observed. Between the 12th and 16th weeks of pregnancy, go to the hospital for a glucose screening. You can check whether there are any hereditary diseases in the abdomen or congenital Down syndrome. The examination is still very necessary. It is recommended to see how the doctor analyzes it after the examination.
