Usually by week 20, your gynae will be able to determine if your baby had got DS by the bone structure. During my 15 weeks scan, my gyane able to detect nasal bone on my baby which is one of the bone that is lacking in DS child. Your gynae will keep a lookout on all these tell signs to have a better judgement. =)
If you are worried about delivering a child with DS. Better to take test. If not, its ok, just eat healthy and boost your folic acid during early pregnancy. For my case, i didnt go for those tests.
