What can be done about Down syndrome?

Patient's question:

A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. What should be done about Down syndrome?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described, the recurrence of chromosomal abnormalities in a high-risk pregnancy is a higher factor leading to fetal malformation. Women under 35 are not eligible for the Down syndrome screening, and it is recommended to undergo non-invasive DNA testing or amniocentesis for systematic prenatal diagnosis to rule out chromosomal diseases. Based on the results of prenatal diagnosis, the next steps for early pregnancy outcomes should be chosen.
Well, wish you a happy life. It is suggested to consider further screening results for the better prognosis and to mentally prepare, as it is important to avoid excessive tension.
