Question
Hi doctor, my wife is pregnant and has been for over two months now. I’m thinking of taking her for a Down syndrome screening, but I’m not sure how much it will cost?
Answer
The cost depends on the type of hospital you choose. It’s recommended to regularly visit the obstetrics department for prenatal checks and follow the doctor’s guidance. Additionally, to promote fetal health, it’s suggested to consume more protein-rich foods such as lean meat, eggs, and fish. Also, maintain personal hygiene during pregnancy by changing your underwear daily and washing the vulva with warm water. Moreover, avoid sexual activity before and after three months of pregnancy to reduce the risk of miscarriage and preterm labor.
