Will fetal edema cause habitual abortion?

Patient's question:

Fetal hydrops, bilateral pulmonary cystic adenomatoid malformation? NT neck posterior translucency NT 15 mm. Chest: bilateral lung enlargement, enhanced echo, cardiothoracic ratio 82%, apex directed left, four-chamber heart faintly visible. FBM 2 points: FM 2 points, FT 2 points, amniotic fluid 2 points. Currently 14 weeks + 3 days pregnant. In 2008, I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks of pregnancy. My husband is 35 years old and drinks alcohol frequently. He requests that I have an abortion.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you have now discovered that the fetus has abnormal lungs and fetal edema. You have a history of fetal demise. Your husband has been drinking alcohol for a long time.
Advice: It may be due to poor quality sperm from your husband, or it could be a problem with your chromosomes. You need to check your husband's semen and both of your chromosomes. After fetal termination, it is also best to do a chromosome test, which will help identify the cause of the fetal abnormalities or the underlying condition. Once the cause is identified, targeted treatment should be administered before attempting to conceive again.
