After getting married, many couples end their happy life together early and want a healthy baby. After completing the preparation work for pregnancy, I finally got pregnant as planned. During pregnancy, there are also some things that expectant mothers and fathers worry about, such as their intellectual problems. So, how to assess the intelligence of the baby during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, choosing Down syndrome screening is a good way to understand your baby's intellectual development. This method can determine whether a baby has intellectual disabilities with higher accuracy. Down syndrome screening is based on maternal serum extraction and combined with maternal blood collection age, weight, and gestational age for examination. It is an effective method for detecting the concentration of chorionic gonadotropin and fetal protein A in the serum of pregnant mothers.
Generally speaking, pregnant women can obtain screening results within one week after blood collection. If the result is high-risk, there is no need to panic, as further amniocentesis and fetal chromosome examination are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
To be clear, screening can only help determine the possibility of Down syndrome in fetuses, but some people's test results may not be accurate, and the specific judgment is still based on their own situation. Serum AFP and HGG can also be detected through glucose screening. High risk pregnant women with neural tube defects, body 18 syndrome, and body 13 syndrome can also be screened through glucose screening.
Although Tang screening cannot provide very accurate test results, it can detect whether the fetus has Down syndrome. It should be noted that these patients have serious intellectual disabilities, cannot take care of themselves, and are accompanied by other diseases, which will have a significant impact on the family in the future. Therefore, the first step in assessing a baby's intelligence is to undergo Tang screening.
