Patient's question:
I have a colleague whose baby was born with six fingers, having a deformed child. I am currently four months pregnant. What symptoms during pregnancy can suggest that the baby is deformed? How can I prevent it? What kind of help is needed: What symptoms can occur if the baby is deformed?Doctor's answer:
Above four months, a four-dimensional MRI can reveal whether there are any organ abnormalities or obvious external deformities. Within three months, it is a critical period for cell division and the growth and development of various organs. Avoid contact with toxic or harmful substances within three months, and prevent infections from viruses, bacteria, etc. Polydactyly (extra fingers) has a tendency to be inherited across generations. You should not be overly concerned. In most cases, if the fetus has a deformity, the pregnant woman will not experience any symptoms. The above suggestions are in response to the question "What symptoms might occur if a fetus has a deformity?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
