What is fetal morphology
Fetal morphology is a specialised ultrasound examination performed during pregnancy to assess the baby’s anatomy and development in detail.
During the scan, the specialist examines the major organs and systems of the fetus, as well as the placenta, amniotic fluid and other important indicators related to the progress of the pregnancy.
Fetal morphology is an essential part of modern antenatal care, allowing the early detection of structural abnormalities and developmental concerns.
When Fetal Morphology Is Performed
Fetal morphology is usually performed at several key stages of pregnancy:
- Early fetal morphology — around 11 to 13 weeks of gestation
- Second-trimester fetal morphology — around 20 to 23 weeks of gestation
- Late fetal morphology — around 30 to 32 weeks of gestation
Each of these examinations has a different diagnostic value and helps monitor fetal development at different stages of pregnancy.
What the Examination Includes
During a fetal morphology scan, the following are assessed in detail:
- The brain and facial structures
- The heart and major blood vessels
- The spine
- The abdominal organs
- The kidneys and bladder
- The limbs
- The placenta
- The amount of amniotic fluid
- Fetal growth
The examination is performed using high-resolution ultrasound equipment that allows detailed visualisation of the baby’s anatomy.
What Patients Can Expect
- A detailed ultrasound examination
- A thorough assessment of fetal development
- A clear explanation of the findings by a specialist
- The opportunity to ask questions during the appointment
For expectant parents, fetal morphology is an important milestone, offering reassurance and valuable information about the baby’s development and wellbeing.
