What Are The Chances Of Having A Healthy Baby With Presence Of Amniotic Band?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...i am 22 weeks pregnant and have been told i have a amniotic band. iv suffered 4 misscariages and am scared. the sonographer told me the band is nowhere near my baby but i cant help but panic. what are the chances of me having a healthy baby?
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Amniotic band if not near the fetus usually do not affects the fetus. However, sometimes the fetus gets entwined around the amniotic band leading to amputation of limbs or decreased blood supply to a particular part. I would suggest you to consult a fetal medicine specialist and get a proper counselling with serial follow up ultrasounds to detect any abnormality at the earliest. Hope you found the answer helpful.
