Question
What should I note before a Down syndrome test, do I need to be fasting, and can the test be done if I’ve had a little water in the morning but haven’t eaten anything?
Answer
Condition Analysis: Hello, there’s no need to be fasting for a Down syndrome test; you can go after eating breakfast. Since Down syndrome is caused by chromosomal defects, your diet won’t affect the test results, so you don’t need to change your usual eating habits. Guidance Suggestion: It’s recommended that the best time for a Down syndrome test is between 15 to 20 weeks of pregnancy. Don’t worry too much; just maintain a cheerful mood.
