When into a pregnancy can a birth defect be diagnosed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Some can be anticipated by genetic studies in the first 12 weeks by CV sampling or blood work, A high resolution ultrasound may detect some by 12-16 weeks. Some will only be detected after birth because no suspicion or testing has been done.
