WHO sets the annual html on November 21 as "World Down syndrome day".
This year, March 21, 2021, is the tenth World Down Syndrome Day.
Down syndrome, which is " Down child ", is what we usually call "silly kid", but we don't know nothing at all, it's just that 's intelligence is low due to defects.
Previous data showed that the birth rate of babies with Down syndrome in my country is one per 20 minutes on average.
However, with the popularity of pregnancy knowledge, people's general awareness has improved, and pregnant women are very important for prenatal check-ups after pregnancy, so this data should also be improved.
Many pregnant women may doubt: Why are the babies born in the same way, some pregnant women give birth to healthy babies, while some pregnant women give birth to "Dang's baby"?
Down syndrome is a random disease of , which means that every pregnant mother may have a Down child, but the risk level is different.
However, in general, it is related to factors such as when a woman is pregnant, whether is infected with in the early stage of pregnancy, whether there have been multiple miscarriage , environmental pollution and other factors.
Anyone who has known it knows that "Dang's son" all look the same. The picture below shows the typical appearance characteristics of the "Dang's son" baby.
The third category of pregnant women have a high risk of getting a "Down's son", so they should pay more attention!
says that "being stupid for three years" is said. In fact, pregnant mothers will become very sensitive and even neurotic during pregnancy, and ask very simple questions.
Sometimes it is not that pregnant mothers become stupid, , but that they care too much about their babies, is too , and they are worried that they cannot make good judgments on some simple questions, and ask the doctor repeatedly and confirm several times.
When I was 16 weeks pregnant, I basically started to worry about the 12th week of pregnancy, and I was worried about the poor results of the 16-week prenatal examination.
In fact, there is no need to worry, most pregnant mothers can go smoothly.
is the following figure. It is a survey showing that is prone to give birth to Down's children. Among them, "One of the couple's chromosome abnormalities during conception" accounts for 28%, which is actually because they took teratogenic drugs before pregnancy.
Some of these are unavoidable and preventable, but some can be avoided and prevented by understanding in advance. It is recommended that couples prepare for pregnancy should do pre-pregnancy examinations and inquiries.
Generally, in clinical practice, obstetricians will remind the three types of pregnant mothers to pay attention to it. These three types of pregnant women belong to the high-risk group of Tang screen:
High-age pregnant women, who are over 35 years old when they are pregnant;
pregnant women with genetic genes, that is, people with Down syndrome in their family;
pregnant women who have given Down syndrome before.
What you need to pay attention to is to ask the doctor before you have a baby, and you should go for prenatal check-ups on time after pregnancy and follow the doctor's advice more often.
Prevent "Down syndrome", these two tests are very critical
First test: NT test
refers to the "neck transparent layer" , look at the thickness of the fetus cervical spine, and refer to clinical standards to determine the risk of Down syndrome in the fetus.
Therefore, this test is also called "early Tang screening" .
[Examination time] : Pregnancy 1-14 weeks
is the best time to check, usually done together during prenatal check-ups at 12 weeks of pregnancy.
[Check method] : Ultrasound examination, no need to hold urine.
[Precautions]:
✦ Choose a regular hospital and make an appointment in advance for .
is generally which hospital for pregnancy checkup. file and make an appointment for examination in advance. has the best examination time, so that the examination is required in advance and the best pregnancy time period is required. This will be accurate. Most of them are done with the 12-week prenatal examination.
✦ If you miss the best inspection time or you cannot check NT locally, you don’t need to be upset with , Just do the Tang sieve on time .
I had severe morning sickness at that time and I was at my mother's house in the early stages of pregnancy. I couldn't do NT tests in the local area, so I didn't check it. I went back to Beijing for 16 weeks and went directly to Tang sieve.
✦ Relax before checking.
As mentioned earlier, many pregnant mothers will be nervous for many days in advance, and even can't sleep well the night before. In fact, you don't have to be too nervous.
You can learn some knowledge about NT checks in advance, Relax your mood , rest well, pay attention to balanced diet, and eat less spicy and cold foods.
Second test: Down screening
refers to the prenatal screening for Down syndrome, mainly filtering children with intellectual defects .
[Examination time] : Pregnancy 5-20 weeks
is a better period for this examination. It is usually checked together during prenatal examination at 16 weeks of pregnancy.
[Examination method] : Pregnant woman has an empty stomach, venous blood test.
[Precautions] :
✦ Do prenatal examination according to the doctor's advice.
There are three tests to check whether the fetus is a Down child: Down screening, amniotic fluid puncture and non-invasive DNA test.
But different pregnant women may have different examinations. Some do directly do Tang sieve, but some do not ask sheep to wear or non-invasive. In fact, the doctors give the advice based on the risk rate. The accuracy of sheep wear and non-invasiveness is higher, so just follow the doctor's advice.
✦ Don’t be anxious and anxious when you screen the critical value or high risk.
I also have pregnant mothers around me. The result is a critical value or high risk. I was scared to death when I saw the result.
However, after further screening, it was also found that there was no problem with the fetus.
So, pregnant mothers who encounter this situation should not worry too much, cooperate with the doctor and do further screening.
Today is "World Down Syndrome Day". Beijing Mom hopes to use this article to remind pregnant mothers that although they are not so unlucky to get pregnant with Down, they should not be careless during pregnancy. They should do every prenatal check-up on time to ensure the healthy development of the fetus, and also "escort" the smooth progress of pregnancy, and give birth to a beautiful and smart baby.
