Question

Can a Down Syndrome Test Still Be Done at 19 Weeks?

Answer

Hello: The best time for a Down syndrome test is between the 9th to 14th week of pregnancy, referred to as early pregnancy screening. If you miss this period, you should move on to the mid-pregnancy screening, which also enables risk assessment. However, if the final diagnosis is positive, it can cause significant damage to the mother.
