Question

I'm really worried because I got my test results back and it says my baby might have Trisomy 21 and it's classified as a high risk. Can you help me understand what this means for my baby? What steps should I take next? I'm feeling really anxious about this situation.

A Trisomy 21 positive result with high risk indicates a strong likelihood of Down syndrome in your baby, which can affect physical and intellectual development; consult your doctor or a genetic counselor to discuss the results, understand the risks, and consider further testing options, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, to confirm the diagnosis, and prepare for potential outcomes.

Question

I'm a bit worried and confused about something that happened recently. If a guy rubs his genitals and ejaculates in his underwear, and then there's rubbing against a woman's genitals with a very slightly wet surface, could that possibly lead to pregnancy, especially since it happened a week after her period ended?
