TORCH stands for toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex, and HIV, but it can also include other newborn infections.

Hi you should do amniocentesis before 20weeks of gestation.
It is safe to do amniocentesis provided that it is done in by safe and trained hands.

Hello
lybrate user I understood your concern and my opinion is that yes you should directly go for amniocentesis if trisomy 21 risk is 1 in 50, there are other non invasive prenatal diagnostic tests available but they are not confirmatory, I hope my answers help you
thanks.

Hi lybrate-user the risk of down's syndrome in your case is significant. The next step to confirm whether your child has down's syndrome or not is aminocentesis. Although this test has some risks like miscarriage but in safe hands the risk is quite low. Around 1%. Thanks.

It is very hard to tell if the child will have down's syndrome or not. It is only time that will tell and for that matter of fact, it is only chance and please think positively about the situation. The chances are very less and even if it turns out to be so, downs kids are trainable. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!

You need blood transfusion only if hb is severely low otherwise not. As your hubby is ok, in the worst case, your baby will be heterozygous like you, but never thalassaemia affected. So, no need to go for amniocentesis. And you need folic acid tablets.

Usually travelling does not cause any problems. It does not mean that you will not have any problems, it means if you face a problem it would not be because of travelling.

Penis need not reach upto cervix.
Any couple desirous of pregnancy and not getting the same naturally must meet a gynecologist or infertility specialist accepting the fact that it needs many reports and different trials of treatment. This means the couple must have patience and go to one with whom they have trust to stick for a long time.
In view of age better to have pregnancy as early as possible - so may opt for ivf.
