The detection of fetal abnormalities and intellectual disability primarily focuses on the early stages of early pregnancy, when organ formation occurs and is highly sensitive to external factors.

If a pregnant woman contracts rubella in the early stages of pregnancy, the rubella virus can be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta. Newborns may have congenital heart defects, cataracts, hearing loss, developmental disorders, known as congenital rubella or congenital rubella. Intellectual, behavioral, and motor developmental disorders are also major characteristics of congenital rubella. This early developmental disorder is caused by rubella encephalitis and may lead to permanent mental developmental delay.
Understanding How to Determine if a Child Has Down Syndrome
During a 24-week 4D ultrasound examination, data such as the transverse diameter of the cerebellum, head circumference, and length of the femur indicate that it is currently impossible to accurately determine the fetus’s gender using these indicators. According to national regulations, fetal gender determination is prohibited unless medically necessary.
If a baby suddenly starts to have seizures with symptoms like convulsions or rolling eyes, it could be an epilepsy attack, but a doctor’s examination is necessary for a definitive diagnosis.
The characteristic of a minor epilepsy seizure in children is a sudden onset and sudden cessation of brief loss of consciousness, without convulsions. During an attack, the child may remain motionless, with a pale complexion, speech temporarily stopped, and hands unable to hold objects. Sometimes, they may be unsteady on their feet. Symptoms generally disappear after 2 to 10 minutes, and the child may have no memory of the episode. Parents should be aware that this could be a sign of epilepsy.
