Question
The pregnant woman is five months pregnant and is about to undergo a Down syndrome test, but has not established an obstetric examination card in the hospital yet. In this situation, can she still undergo the Down syndrome test?
Answer
Establishing an examination card is a routine procedure during the obstetric examination, but even without one, pregnant women can still undergo a Down syndrome test. It is recommended to go to a regular three-level hospital for the examination. During pregnancy, it is important to regularly visit the obstetric department for check-ups and consume foods rich in protein and fresh vegetables and fruits. Additionally, sexual activity should be avoided in the first and last three months of pregnancy to reduce the risk of miscarriage and preterm birth.
