What is Fetal Abnormality Screening?

Fetal - or antenatal - abnormality screening is offered by the NHS to women at various stages of their pregnancy, so that doctors can scan for specific conditions at certain times in the baby's development.

Examples of conditions screened for at various stages in the pregnancy include Down's syndrome, missing bones or limbs, spina bifida and brain or heart defects. Some screening is not diagnostic, and only offers a risk of abnormality, while other types are.

It is obligatory for medical professionals to offer screening at 18-20 weeks for physical abnormalities, as well as a screening test for Down's syndrome, However, the mother can refuse to partake in these tests if she wishes.
