Prevention Of Down Syndrome

There is no way to prevent Down syndrome. However, if you are a high risk for a child with Down syndrome or you already have a child with Down syndrome, you might want to consult a genetic counselor before becoming pregnant.

A genetic counselor can help you understand the possibilities of having a child with Down syndrome. He or she may also explain the prenatal tests that are available and help you understand the advantages and disadvantages of testing.
