First Trimester And Screening For Birth Defects

When you are in your first trimester, screening for birth defects will be done using both fetal ultrasound and blood test. These tests are important as they can find out whether the baby you are carrying has any birth defect.

Serious Pregnancy Complications

Usually a pregnancy goes without any serious complications. At the most pregnant women experience some minor and small issues which the doctors can treat and handle without causing any distress to the fetus or the mother. However, serious pregnancy complications are not unheard of and these can lead to the death not just of the fetus but also the mother.
