Patient's question:
Now I am 20 weeks pregnant. My husband said that I should have the Down syndrome screening at 22 weeks. What should I pay attention to before the Down syndrome screening? What should I be careful about during the Down syndrome screening?Doctor's answer:
You are now 20 weeks pregnant and should check your screening results. If you want to undergo the security check, you need to fast. Generally, you need to check the screening between 16 and 20 weeks of pregnancy. During pregnancy, pay attention to rest, avoid strenuous exercise, enhance nutrition, and do not eat spicy or irritating foods. Regular prenatal check-ups at the hospital are necessary. I suggest you ask your doctor whether you need to make an appointment in advance before the check-up to avoid missing the best time for the examination.
