Question
If pre-pregnancy and post-pregnancy checks are normal, but the baby is diagnosed with Down Syndrome, how should one handle the situation?
Answer
It is worth noting that the accuracy of Down syndrome screening is only 60%-70%, so even with a low risk, it does not mean that a Down syndrome fetus is impossible. It is recommended to consider another pregnancy in this situation without excessive worry. It is advisable to avoid Down syndrome screening during the next pregnancy and instead perform amniocentesis between 20-24 weeks of pregnancy to observe if there are any signs of Down syndrome in the baby, which is currently the most accurate testing method. Wishing you a smooth pregnancy.
