Question

I had a cold two months into my pregnancy, and I recovered without medication. When I had the Down syndrome screening at 20 weeks, the result showed that the risk was at the critical point. I am worried that my baby might have Down syndrome and would like to know what to do in a high-risk situation?

Answer

In most cases, this is not a major concern. If the risk is extremely high, the doctor may recommend further tests to ensure the baby’s health. However, if no additional tests are recommended by the doctor, there is generally no need to be overly worried. It’s important to rest well and maintain a positive mood during pregnancy, as this is beneficial for the baby’s healthy growth. Additionally, incorporating a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables into your daily routine can aid in the baby’s development.
