Question
I am 17 weeks and three days pregnant. I had a Down syndrome screening three days ago, and the result shows a 21-trisomy risk of 1:930. The doctor said I am at the critical point and recommended a non-invasive DNA test. I want to ask if there is any risk involved?
Answer
Based on your test results, the risk level is low, so there is no need to worry. Moreover, being a bit older is actually a good thing, indicating a lower risk. I suggest you maintain a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, and keep a light diet with moderate aerobic exercise to enhance your immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
