Common Fetal Diagnoses

Having information about your baby’s condition and what to expect before you give birth can help you prepare, mentally and physically.

Using diagnostic tests that go beyond the traditional fetal ultrasound, our experts here at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children's Partners for Perinatal Management program are dedicated to trying to figure out what, if anything, is going on.

If there is a problem, our top-rate physicians can care for virtually any medical or surgical condition after delivery. Knowing that there are experts standing by who are aware of your baby’s unique situation can bring some peace of mind and hope in even the most difficult situations.

Fetal Conditions We Commonly Diagnose

As technologies evolve, our ability to pinpoint fetal conditions during pregnancy and to treat them at or after birth is always expanding. Below are some (but certainly not all) of the more common problems that can be diagnosed before birth.
