it must be usg.at 20weeks with usg we can find malformation,cvs is done at 12week,pubs at 20weeks it is invasive and pregnancy loss is 3-5% usg is noninvasive and safe

i was just read this and thought i should share it with u... if the mom is overt diabetic then we follow her up antenatally as.. 1.home glucose monitoring 2.glycosylated Hb 3.renal and retinal status 4.15-18wks....triple marker screening 5.18-20wks....targeted USG 6.22-24wks....fetal echo 7.mthly USG for macrosomia and IUGR 8.wkly NST ...after 32wks so i guess the answer should be targeted USG as this patient is 20wks...
