hi;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
The fetal anamoly scan (ultra sound for abnormality) is done between 18-20 weeks thats around 5 months.Then only we can come to know about the development of baby.Since the ultrasound shows abnormal baby please consult your Gynaec for further opinion & treatment.
Thanks

Hi,
The most accurate time span when the fetal developmental progress can be appreciated is around 5 months.This is when the fetal parts are best visualised.If there are developmental anomalies,now is the time that your doctor will alert you if termination is to be considered.
