Identifying Risk Factors of Pregnancy, Diagnosing and Treating

All expecting parents want the Best Outcome for Pregnancy.
As the field of medicine is evolving, there is a shift from “Diagnosing and Treating Risk Factors of Pregnancy” medical problems to “identifying Risk Factors of Pregnancy and intervening” and thereby preventing a medical problem.
The same rule is suitable for Fetal medicine as well.
Several conditions can occur in the foetus and the mother that can be recognized early in pregnancy at about the third month, and that’s why the NT-NB scan is essential.
Screening for chromosomal abnormalities -especially Down’s syndrome is performed between 11 weeks to 13 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy.
The test involves a scan called the NT-NB scan, and a blood test called the double marker test, performed on the mother at 11 to 13 weeks of pregnancy.
The scan is performed to look for markers of chromosomal abnormalities.
These are- NT- Nuchal translucency which is the fluid thickness at the back of the neck of the baby, NB- nasal bone, a bone found at the root of the nose

This is the first scan for a detailed evaluation of the baby.
It’s done to see nuchal fold thickness and nasal bone.
These days when imaging and machines have evolved so much, NT NB Scan is not limited to evaluating these two things only.
Much more information can be obtained from this scan
We can check ductus venous flow which is a connection between the maternal and fetal circulation
Heart is evaluated by checking for any tricuspid valve regurgitation, even heart chambers can also be seen.
The brain is evaluated for any congenital malformation.
Hands and feet are also checked whether there is any deformities.
Chest and abdomen are evaluated for any defect or congenital malformation.
We find out about the number of vessels in the umbilical cord which connect foetus to the mother.
The spine is checked for any gross malformation

Apart from all of these we also calculate the risk of pre-eclampsia and diabetes in the mother, chromosomal abnormalities in the foetus and future risk of fatal growth retardation.
