Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for 5 months. I had a screening for Down syndrome, and the results showed high risk. The doctor said I was at risk and suggested I get another test. I've been very worried lately, can't sleep, and have been having trouble eating dinner. I'm very concerned about the baby in my stomach. I want to ask what is Down syndrome screening?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome screening is a thorough check to see how a child might have Down syndrome. It's essential to maintain a positive mood throughout pregnancy and not worry too much. During pregnancy, eat more protein-rich foods, fresh vegetables, and fruits. Avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods. It's crucial to have regular prenatal check-ups at the obstetrics department during pregnancy. In the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy, sexual activity must be avoided to prevent the possibility of miscarriage and premature birth.
