This requires amniocentesis testing at a tertiary hospital. If a thorough examination still shows abnormalities, this pregnancy cannot be carried to term. If the thorough examination is normal, the pregnancy can be carried forward, and regular prenatal check-ups can be performed. During the pregnancy, monthly ultrasounds should be conducted for careful examination, a Down syndrome screening should be done at 15 weeks, and a color Doppler ultrasound should be performed at five months. The above is advice on this issue. It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
