My double marker test is coming up next week and im honestly thoda tense reading about all this. Just want to understand kyun ye hota hai, is it age or something we do? Anyone went through these tests, pls share.
As someone who had pregnancy complications, I highly recommend talking to a maternal-fetal specialist. They can explain the screening scans clearly so you don't have to guess.
My doctor explained that Down syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, which usually happens by chance during cell division. She said maternal age can increase the risk, but it can happen to anyone, which is why screening tests are routine.
Beta, this is a natural genetic thing and not in our hands, no home remedy or diet can change it. Just keep your mind peaceful, eat healthy, and let the doctors do their regular scans.
Don't spend hours searching Google on your busy day, it will only stress you out. Just ask your doctor to schedule the standard NT scan and blood tests around 11-13 weeks.
Our elders say to pray and stay positive, but medically it is a chromosome issue. We trusted our doctor completely and did all the recommended double marker tests.
I know how terrifying it is to read about these things and stress about your baby. It is just a random genetic occurrence, so please speak to your doctor to get reassurance.
It's a genetic condition that happens randomly due to an extra chromosome. Please discuss this with your gynac, they will guide you about the screening tests like Double Marker or NIPT.
