I have just got pregnant. How do I know if my child is normal?
As part of a prenatal diagnosis, we will propose various ways of early detection of major fetal abnormalities. During the consultation, the doctor looks for the presence or absence of risk by asking you about your background, surgical, obstetric, family, your spouse, then proceeds to clinical examination. Finally, we will advise you on specific prevention methods.The main risks are sought-CHROMOSOME risk, including that of trisomy 21-the risk of GENETIC DISEASE-the risk of MALFORMATOINS-TheTERATOGENIC risk, linked to drugs-The risk of infection, linked to toxoplasmosis, rubella, chickenpox, herpes virus and cytomegalovirusIt is recommended to repeat the clinical examination and ultrasound during pregnancy (each trimester). If an abnormality is discovered, it sends the torque to a multidisciplinary center for prenatal diagnosis to evaluate the severity of the disease. In rare cases, there is no treatment for the abnormality detected. The multidisciplinary team may offer an MTP(Medical termination of pregnancy).However, despite advances in prenatal diagnosis it should be understood that some deficiencies still remain undetectable.
