Question
At what month of pregnancy is a Down syndrome screening more accurate?
Answer
Down syndrome screening is divided into early and mid-trimester screening. The initial screening is from 9 weeks to 12.3 weeks, and the mid-trimester screening is from 16 weeks to 20 weeks. Therefore, it’s about the timing of the screening. It should be decided based on individual circumstances and operations. If you are over 35 years old, it’s best to directly undergo a non-invasive DNA test. It is also recommended to pay more attention to rest and consume more nutritious food during pregnancy.
