Suggest Tests To Diagnose Any Abnormalities During 34 Weeks Of Pregnancy
Question: Im 34 weeks pregnant. If my doctor saw anything abnormal on my ultrasound would he have told me. Like down syndrom or any type of defect ?
Brief Answer:
Yes. He is likely to tell you any abnormality.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The defects like Down's syndrome or other anomalies are usually detected before 20 weeks with the help of triple test quadruple test and level II scan. At 34 weeks it is unlikely to have any congenital malformation detected.
In case the radiologist notices any abnormality he will convey it to your gynecologist. You can consult your doctor to know the details.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

I never had any testing done i juat had an ultrasound at 20 weeks when we found out the sex and he didnt say anything about any abnomalities.. Would he have told me then ?
Brief Answer:
The scan must have been normal then.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Your 20 weeks scan was normal. If there would have been anything abnormal that would have been conveyed to you at that time itself. There is no need to worry now.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
