Brief Answer:
Ultrasound scan needed right now.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The fetal abnormalities are detected with the help of various tests at different time intervals. Your gynecologist will recommend you these tests and regular ultrasound scans and a few blood blood tests will help in ruling out any fetal abnormalities. Most of these tests are done between 10-20 weeks of gestation. The blood tests are done after 10 weeks. Right now an ultrasound scan is needed which you will be having tomorrow. Wait for the reports and then consult your gynecologist for further guidance.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
