Signs of Down Syndrome During Pregnancy
There is no way to diagnose whether your baby has Down syndrome with 100 percent certainty. However, there are some tests which–when combined with each other and risk factors like your age and your family history–can give you an estimation of the likeliness that your baby carries the trisomy 21 gene, which causes Down syndrome.

3D Ultrasound During Pregnancy

Before having a 3D ultrasound performed, however, understand that they are not designed to be medically diagnostic and are not recommended by any major medical association.

A Doppler ultrasound is a very specific type of fetal ultrasound test. Fetal ultrasound is a diagnostic test that may be used to confirm your pregnancy; give your doctor an idea of your baby’s gestational age; assess the baby’s rate of growth; and identify possible congenital abnormalities or other problems. The Doppler ultrasound can also provide valuable information about your developing child’s blood flow.
