The necessity of doing four-dimensional color ultrasound: Color ultrasound can assist doctors in diagnosing congenital malformations of the fetus, including surface malformations and visceral malformations. For example, congenital heart disease, cleft lip and palate, hydrops fetus, polydactyly and external ear malformations can all be detected. At the same time, the exact position of the fetus in the uterus can be determined.

In addition to the necessary examinations introduced above, for the health of the baby, pregnant mothers must supplement enough energy so that the baby can absorb enough nutrients and be able to "move" normally. Prenatal care is also an important part of preventing birth defects. Folic acid supplementation can reduce the occurrence of neural tube defects.
