DEAR DR. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY FETAL ANOMILIES? PLEASE EXPLAIN IN DETAIL.

A fetal anomaly is any abnormality seen in the newborn baby (cleft pallate, shortened limbs, chromosomal abnormalities, cardiac problems, birth marks, etc.
CAN FETAL ANOMALIES BE DETECTED THROUGH A 3D OR 4D SONOGRAPHY? IF DETECTED CAN IT BE TREATED WHEN PREGNANCY IS THERE. RIGHT NOW I'M 5 MONTHS PREGNANT. CAN FETAL ANOMALIES BE TREATED AFTER THE BIRTH OF THE BABY?
AnswerFetal anomalies are noticed when the baby is born. Sometimes, they can be treated, sometimes they cannot be treated, and sometimes yoou do not have to do anything. It can be anatomical defects, physiological defects, chromosomal defects. There is no reason to suspect an anomali. Sometimes, a sonogram can diagnose a fetal anamoli but usually there is nothing to do at the time. If the anamoly can be treated when the baby is born, it will be.
