Physical indicators of Down syndrome are present at birth and many experienced doctors can tell immediately that a child has Down syndrome. However, to be sure, your child must have genetic testing done -- which can take a few weeks.

∙ 15y agoDown Syndrome is present at birth, since it is the result of a genetic condition. It is merely a matter of your doctors recognizing it. In some children it is harder to recognize than in others. Ask you doctor if you think it might be present.

Can blood test concerning Down syndrome be wrong during pregnancy?
Yes. Quite commonly Down syndrome is diagnosed or highly suspected before birth. Prenatal ultrasound can be used to increase the suspicion of Down syndrome by evaluating the nuchal lucency during the 1st trimester. The triple screen (HCG, AFP, and estriol) can also point to a potential chromosomal abnormality. An amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling can clinch the diagnosis by allowing prenatal chromosomal analysis.
What is a prevention of Downs syndrome?
Experts recommend genetic counseling for persons with a family history of Down syndrome who wish to have a baby. A woman's risk of having a child with Down syndrome increases as she gets older. The risk is significantly higher among women age 35 and older. Couples who already have a baby with Down syndrome have an increased risk of having another baby with the condition. Tests such as nuchal translucency ultrasound, amniocentesis, or chorionic villus sampling can be done on a fetus during the first few months of pregnancy to check for Down syndrome. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends offering Down syndrome screening tests to all pregnant women, regardless of age.
