Patient's question:
I have a colleague whose baby was born with six fingers, having a child with a deformity. I am currently four months pregnant. What symptoms during pregnancy can indicate that the baby is deformed? How can I prevent it? The help I need: What symptoms can occur if the baby is deformed?Doctor's answer:
Over 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. It is essential to avoid contact with toxic or harmful substances and prevent infections from viruses and bacteria within three months. Polydactyly (extra fingers) has a tendency to be inherited across generations. You should not be overly concerned, as most pregnant women with fetal deformities do not experience any symptoms. The above advice addresses the question, "What symptoms might occur if a fetus is deformed?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
