Down syndrome
Dear Doctors,
I am 14 weeks pregnant
In early pregnancy doctors found triplets , twins and one single baby those twins don't have heartbeat and single baby is healthy upto 13 weeks but
yesterday done with NT scan and double marker test in that test they found down syndrome
My doubt is this down syndrome means need to check with genetic disorders as per my doctors prescription
Is this down syndrome problem arises because of triplets or it is because of my health problems?
And Is this problem happens in next pregnancy as well?
Please clarify🙏
Thanks in advance...
