What Is Fetal Anomaly Counseling?
Fetal Anomaly Counseling is a vital service offered when an abnormality or variation is detected in a fetus during prenatal scans—especially during the Anomaly Scan (19–22 weeks) or other advanced imaging tests like Fetal Echo, NIPT, or Genetic Tests.
This specialized consultation helps expecting parents understand the nature, implications, and next steps regarding any fetal anomaly that may be found during pregnancy.
When Is It Recommended?
- Detected anomalies in routine or detailed scans
- Positive results from NIPT, genetic, or biochemical screening tests
- Family history of genetic or congenital conditions
- Multiple pregnancy complications or high-risk pregnancies
- Previous pregnancy with anomalies
What Does the Counseling Involve?
- Detailed explanation of the anomaly or suspected condition
- Understanding short-term and long-term outcomes
- Discussion of further diagnostic tests if required (e.g., amniocentesis, fetal MRI)
- Information on management options, including in-utero or postnatal treatments
- Clarification on prognosis, recurrence risks, and emotional impact
- Help with making informed decisions about continuing, managing, or planning the pregnancy
- Referrals to pediatric specialists, genetic counselors, or fetal medicine experts if needed
Why Is It Important?
