Patient's question:
At 26 weeks of pregnancy, I had a 4D ultrasound. The doctor said the fetus's nasal bone was 0.3 cm. They recommended further chromosomal testing. When I went to the hospital for the chromosomal test, they said the ultrasound was too late to perform an amniocentesis and could only do a blood test. However, we cannot conduct this test here. So, I am asking the doctor what to do. Should we keep this child? Thank youDoctor's answer:
If checking for poor fetal nasal bone development is due to congenital developmental abnormalities causing fetal developmental issues, there are many reasons that can lead to this, such as the fetus itself developing abnormally, chromosomal abnormalities, viral infections, etc. Generally, doctors will advise women with risk signs of prenatal examinations to maintain a balanced diet and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Additionally, patients should also create an environment conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
