Frequently Asked Questions

Fetal Medicine focuses on diagnosing and managing conditions affecting the unborn baby. You should consult a specialist if you have a high-risk pregnancy, abnormal ultrasound results, or a family history of genetic conditions.

These include routine ultrasounds, anomaly scans, fetal echocardiography, and genetic testing such as NIPT, amniocentesis, or CVS.

It screens for structural abnormalities in the baby’s organs, limbs, and overall development, usually performed between 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy.

It is a specialized ultrasound to assess the fetal heart’s structure and function, recommended if there is a family history of heart defects or if abnormalities are suspected on a routine scan.

Treatment options depend on the condition and may include close monitoring, in-utero interventions, or planning specialized care at birth.
