Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, and has normal appetite. There are no significant abnormalities, but they sometimes tremble. What should I do about Down syndrome?
Answer
Hello, based on the situation you described, the risk of chromosomal abnormalities leading to fetal deformities is higher in elderly mothers. It’s not recommended to undergo Down syndrome screening for women under 35 years old. It is suggested to opt for non-invasive prenatal testing or amniocentesis for comprehensive prenatal diagnosis. This will help eliminate chromosomal disorders. Based on the results of prenatal diagnosis, choose the next steps for early pregnancy outcomes. Wishing you a happy life. It is recommended to be prepared mentally based on the further screening results, and just be aware of the need to avoid excessive stress.
