Down syndrome screening is an important and essential examination in pregnancy testing. Because Down syndrome screening can provide a timely and clear understanding of fetal development, almost every pregnant woman will undergo Down syndrome screening. And for some pregnant women who don't dream about doing it in the morning or afternoon, can they do Down syndrome screening in the afternoon?
It is not recommended to do Down syndrome screening in the afternoon, as it requires fasting. If you do it in the afternoon, you can only eat from morning to noon after the examination, otherwise it will affect the results of Down syndrome screening. Not eating in the morning or noon can cause discomfort in the stomach, and hunger can be very uncomfortable. Therefore, it is not recommended to undergo Down syndrome screening in the afternoon.
It is best for pregnant women to undergo Down syndrome screening on an empty stomach in the morning. This way, after getting up and grooming themselves, they can bring the necessary items to the hospital for Down syndrome screening. After the examination, they can eat again, and the time interval should not be too long, so it will not cause stomach discomfort. And the morning check is usually in better condition, which is more conducive to inspection.
If a pregnant woman really doesn't have time in the morning, she can go for a check-up the next morning. In fact, the time for Down syndrome screening is between 12-20 weeks of pregnancy. Therefore, pregnant women only need to go for Down syndrome screening at the designated time, and don't necessarily have to specify a day. If there is no time on the same day, they can go for Down syndrome screening the next morning.
