The third instance of cord torsion resulted in the delivery of a nonviable, 15.5-week, phenotypically female fetus. |
A small sample of the amniotic fluid that surrounds the fetus in the womb is taken and this is tested in a laboratory. |
Floating in its lagoon of amniotic fluid, the fetus is well protected from most types of trauma. |
Following fetal demise in each instance, delivery was medically induced, and a nonviable fetus was delivered without further complication. |
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can cause renal and ductal problems in the fetus. |
Prenatal tests including amniocentesis and ultrasound may help to determine whether the fetus is infected. |
