Every couple preparing for pregnancy hopes that their baby will be truly healthy, but there are always times when things don't go as planned and various problems arise. Children with Down syndrome are one of them, so what does Down syndrome mean? Let's take a look at the answer.
The so-called Down syndrome children, also known as Down syndrome babies, are caused by Down syndrome. It means that the child's chromosome 21 is abnormal, resulting in trisomy 21 syndrome. The child has an additional chromosome or other abnormalities in their chromosome. This type of child has the characteristics of congenital dullness and intellectual disability. If such a child is born, it will not only have a negative impact on the child personally, but also a serious burden on the family.
So, during the mid-term of pregnancy, screening will be conducted for Tang babies. If it is determined to be Tang babies through comprehensive examination during the examination, it is recommended to have an induced abortion or miscarriage. The timing of this screening should also be well controlled, preferably around 18 weeks after pregnancy. Do not miss this time, otherwise there may be deviations in the examination data due to missing the best examination time, and you may miss the opportunity for further examination.
