Fetal Anomalies

Fetal anomalies are conditions that develop during pregnancy, affecting a baby’s structure or function. These can include physical issues, like heart defects or missing limbs, as well as genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome. The causes can be genetic factors, environmental influences, or unknown reasons. Some anomalies may be detected through prenatal screening, while others are identified after birth. Early diagnosis can help in planning care and support for affected families. It's important to consult healthcare professionals for accurate information and guidance if concerns about fetal development arise.
