You can go for amniocentesis of the warer around the foetus. Basically a karyotype(genetic test) will be done on cells of the baby derived from this fluid which confirms whether trisomy 21 is really there. But reports take about 2-3 weeks depending on he availability of such labs so you need to do it as early as possible
