Down syndrome screening can be said to be a product of human medical progress and a symbol of the development of the times. Down syndrome screening has extraordinary significance for pregnant women, which is also something that their family and friends should learn. So, what symptoms of pregnant women need to undergo Down syndrome screening? Please refer to the following content.
In fact, all pregnant mothers need to do this examination, because the occurrence of this disease has a certain randomness, and the incidence rate of elderly mothers will be relatively high. All pregnant mothers during pregnancy still need to do some Down screening, which can also ensure the health and safety of the baby.
The root cause of Down syndrome is ultimately a congenital genetic problem, which is the addition of a pair of chromosomes to cells. This is something that many people cannot control. Generally speaking, pregnant women undergo Down syndrome screening during the mid pregnancy period, from 15 to 18 weeks of pregnancy. And don't worry too much before the examination, just treat it as a regular examination, and don't go for the examination on an empty stomach. You can have some breakfast, but you can't eat too much.
Babies with Down syndrome have a more obvious appearance, usually with low intelligence, limited mobility, and inability to take care of themselves. This undoubtedly causes great trouble and financial pressure for parents, but as long as they receive timely treatment, there is still a great chance of recovery.
