A child with a microdeletion of chromosome 18 is generally not wanted. Fetuses with chromosomal abnormalities have a poorer prognosis.
Fetuses with trisomy 18 and trisomy 13 deletions not only have chromosomal abnormalities that result in impaired fetal mental development, but also often have multiple structural problems and a higher probability of preterm labor, miscarriage, fetal arrest, and intrauterine death.
Although a fetus with trisomy 21 may not result in significant structural abnormalities, intellectual development is significantly impaired and is accompanied by short stature, impaired reproduction, and inability to care for oneself.
Therefore, it is not recommended to have a child with a microdeletion of chromosome 18 once diagnosed to avoid burdening the family as well as the society. You need to go to the hospital as soon as possible, and the doctor will confirm whether to induce labor according to the specific conditions.
