Question
My wife had a 3D ultrasound during her first pregnancy at 5 months, which showed that the fetus had underdeveloped brain and kidney areas. We had to undergo a termination. Now, during her second pregnancy at 4 months, the ultrasound again shows the same issues with the brain and kidneys. Is this related to chromosomal abnormalities in either of us? If it is indeed a chromosomal abnormality, can we still have a healthy child?
Answer
Medical Analysis: Hello, based on your description, it’s possible that this condition could be due to chromosomal abnormalities in either you or your partner, or possibly due to viral infections. Guidance: In such cases, it is necessary for both of you to undergo a detailed examination at the hospital. If there are confirmed chromosomal abnormalities, there is currently no treatment available. As for the possibility of having a healthy baby, it is only possible to continue trying to conceive, and there is a chance of success. Best wishes.
