Detection of Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS):
- ABS can often be detected during a prenatal ultrasound, particularly in the second trimester.
- Ultrasound can show fibrous bands in the amniotic sac that may entangle fetal parts.
-
Factors Influencing Detection:
- Timing: Anomaly scans at 18-22 weeks are more likely to identify ABS.
- Severity and Location: Bands causing visible deformities or restricted movement are easier to detect.
- Ultrasound Quality: High-resolution imaging and experienced sonographers enhance detection.
-
Next Steps:
- If ABS is suspected, further monitoring and consultation with a maternal-fetal medicine expert may be advised.
- Discuss any concerns or risk factors with your obstetrician for appropriate screening and care.

Why do periods change dates?
Periods are dependant on hormones and every month period date may change slightly based on the hormone variations. For this reason, if next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle.
