A member asked:
Are there tests or procedures i should have during the 4th month of pregnancy?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: The fourth month, or 16 weeks, is usually a time when genetic testing for down's syndrome is performed. Not all patients want this testing. It is an individual decision.
