Question
Today I had my Down Syndrome screening done at the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, and the results came back. The test report shows a critical high risk, and the doctor advised me to go to the city for an amniocentesis. I’ve heard several friends say that for women over 30, the Down Syndrome screening always results in this kind of outcome, and there’s no need to worry about it. Is my Down Syndrome screening result considered high risk?
Answer
I recommend consulting a gynecologist about the results. During pregnancy, maintain a positive mood and don’t worry too much, as this may affect the child. During pregnancy, you should regularly visit the gynecology department for check-ups and consume more protein-rich foods. Eat more lean meat, eggs, fish, etc. Avoid eating raw, cold, spicy, or stimulating food to prevent fetal development.
