A member asked:

Are fetal defects such as cleft hands detected through an anomaly scan? had scan 8w ago all good now my baby's hand look like lobster claw on us pics

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anatomy survey: Is typically performed between 18 and 22 weeks gestational age. At that time, the fetal anatomy has developed well enough to detect most anomalies. The arms, legs, hands and feet are typically part of a routine anatomy survey, so abnormalities should be identified at that time.
