Question
Can a Down syndrome screening be done at 49 days pregnant?
Answer
At 49 days pregnant, or around 7 weeks, undergoing a Down syndrome screening is not appropriate. The screening is generally divided into early and mid-trimester tests, with early screening recommended to be done after 11 weeks of pregnancy, and mid-trimester screening to be considered after 16 weeks. Since you are currently only 7 weeks pregnant, no other tests are necessary besides the ultrasound.
