Question
I was told at the prenatal check that there’s a fetal chromosomal abnormality. What does this mean? Is it Down syndrome? Can formaldehyde cause fetal chromosomal abnormalities?
Answer
Yes, formaldehyde may lead to fetal malformations, particularly during the first three months of pregnancy. Down syndrome is a screening method for congenital diseases, but it is not 100% effective. To ensure the baby’s normal development as much as possible, it is recommended to undergo prenatal health checks. However, please note that doctors cannot give a 100% accurate answer, so the final result still depends on individual luck. Overall, most babies are healthy and brave, and sometimes parents just over-worry. Good luck!
