What To Do In Case The Foetus Has Down Syndrome?
Hi doc, I'm in my 19th 4 days pregnancy now. Had my detailed scan and e radiographer found 2.4mm fluid in e muscle of my bb's heart! I'm v worried as I was told could be due to parvovirus or down syndrome! Had my blood test for parvovirus done but result only out in 3 days time. My hubby is super anxious and worried. What shd I do now? I'm v confused with mixed feeling. I really hope to hear fr u soon! Thanks and God bless!

Hello,
If i were your treating doctor, i would suggest you to do triple marker tests and if it remains positive, then i advise you to go for abortion as soon as possible after consulting your gynecologist, as it will be of no use of giving birth to a child with down's syndrome.
