Are there signs of down syndrome during pregnancy?

Question

My double marker is coming up next week and i keep overthinking everything. Just wondering if theres anything that shows during pregnancy itself or if its only the tests. A bit anxious tbh, will ask my gynac too.

My doctor explained it's not something you 'feel' as a sign, it's checked through screening tests. We did the double marker blood test and NT scan in first trimester, that gives a risk estimate. If anything looks off they suggest more tests, so just attend your scans on time.

Just do the scans your doctor advised, that's the only real way to know.

Please dont rely on symptoms for this, there really arent reliable physical signs. The proper way is the screening scans and blood tests your gynac orders. Talk to your doctor and do the recommended ones, that's the safe route.

There's no home sign honestly. The NT scan around 11 to 13 weeks and the marker tests are how it's assessed. Best to discuss your reports directly with your gynac, they explain the numbers properly.
