Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

From the information provided it appears that the baby in question might have a relatively higher risk of carrying chromosomal abnormalities for Downs syndrome or Trisomy 18. This may be further confirmed by genetic tests so that the outcome of pregnancy is supervised with minimal chromosomal abnormalities. I suggest you to consult at a fetal medicine clinic having genetic testing resources and take guidance.
