Possible gastroschisis

Asked for Female, 32 years

I am 12 weeks pregnant. I went for my NT scan today and my gynaecologist said it has possible gastroschisis and I am honestly so worried. I have a checkup in the next two weeks but I am just curious to know if it could be normal that the intestines still are not inside the fetus? Is it too early to diagnose? I am so stressed and worried. Please help

Dear Patient,

Please be strong we are here to help you. Gastroschisis is when the intestines are outside a fetus, although it's not normal it's very common and can be easily fixed surgically once the fetus is out.

It may be too early to diagnose it however prepare yourself and stay strong. It is not anyone's fault or reason for this to happen. It is sometimes that the abdominal wall has a small defect and normal intestines are lying outside. Hence this can be fixed permanently using surgical techniques with complete recovery.
