• Trisomy 18: This is a chromosomal disorder. It causes severe developmental delays and also causes abnormalities in the structure of the body. Trisomy 18 is often fatal by age 1.
• Spina bifida: Spina bifida is a birth defect occurring when a portion of the neural tube fails to develop or it fails to close properly. It causes defects in the spinal cord. It also causes defects in the bones of the spine.
• Abdominal wall defects: The baby’s intestines or other abdominal organs stick through the belly button in these kinds of birth defects.

• If prenatal care that began during the second trimester or
• If the first trimester screening test, involving a blood test and an ultrasound exam, wasn’t available.
