Question
How long does it take for Down Syndrome to heal?
Answer
When can Down Syndrome screening be done during pregnancy? Can a Down Syndrome screening be done at 16 weeks of pregnancy? Down Syndrome screening is typically conducted between 15 to 20 weeks of pregnancy. This screening does not involve a chromosome test but assesses the risk of the fetus having Down Syndrome by testing the mother’s blood. If the screening results indicate a higher risk, further diagnostic tests such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling may be required. Down Syndrome has a significant impact on the child, and it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up consultations and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
