Symptoms of Down's syndrome in the belly

Down syndrome babies refer to babies with Down syndrome, which is a chromosomal disease often accompanied by congenital intellectual disabilities. Babies with Down syndrome have fewer fetal movements in the womb and their movements occur later. This is a sad thing to say. Babies with Down syndrome have short heads, wide and flat faces, and their heads are larger than their limbs and torso, and their limbs develop slowly. Next, I will give a detailed introduction to babies with Down syndrome.

The specific symptoms are that expectant mothers often have vaginal bleeding and fetal movement occurs late, usually after 20 weeks, the expectant mother can feel the baby's fetal movement. Generally, Down syndrome babies have very little fetal movement and the fetal power is not strong. However, color ultrasound examination shows that the face has a wide distance between the eyes, a large head, and large bilateral vertex data, but the limbs develop slowly.

What is Down syndrome

Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal disease in humans and the first chromosomal disease to be confirmed in humans. Babies with Down syndrome generally have moderate intellectual disability and congenital moderate intellectual disability. Its main characteristic is severe intellectual disability, but it can be improved with comprehensive early treatment methods. Generally speaking, babies with Down syndrome have short and small heads, flat and wide faces, low and small ears, collapsed noses, and enlarged tongues. Newborn babies have poor muscle tone all over their bodies, appear soft, have loose and lack elasticity skin, and have broken lines on their palms. Children with Down syndrome are short and fat, have a gentle temperament, and like to imitate and repeat the actions of others.

What causes Down syndrome?

1. The age of the pregnant woman

The older you are, the greater the risk. A pregnant woman over 35 is 100 times more likely to have a Down syndrome baby than a 25-year-old.

2. There is a precedent of congenital idiocy in the family

10% of Down syndrome cases are caused by an extra chromosome from the father. Pregnant woman gave birth to a child with Down syndrome

The second child has a higher chance of getting sick than the average person.

3. Teratogens

Women who have been exposed to radiation in their abdomen before or in early pregnancy, or have been exposed to other teratogenic substances multiple times, or have had a viral infection. Before and after pregnancy, pregnant women take teratogenic drugs, such as tetracycline.

Warm reminder: We should be proactive in facing Down syndrome children. We hope that everyone will try not to describe them as congenital idiocy. The society can pay attention to the acquired education of Down syndrome babies and give them fair opportunities. I believe that they are also angels sent by God. They have the right to survive and the right to enjoy happiness. Children with Down syndrome have low intelligence and developmental delay, with an IQ of 60 to 70. Their average education level is that of a third-grade primary school student. When they grow up, they can live independently or in groups, can work normally, and can generally pass through their infancy smoothly. Their usual life expectancy is 55 years.
