Yes, it can be detected before birth. Doctors can use an ultrasound to determine if the child is homozygous dominant or heterozygous, in which cases the child would be infected with Achondroplasia, because it is a dominant trait.

How would you determine if your child has Achondroplasia before birth?

I believe the only way to determine if your child has achondroplasia before birth is by having an ultrasound. They would measure the bones to determine if the child is growing accordingly to age, however it has to be done after the 4th or 5th month of pregnancy, because that's when it would show up on the ultrasound.
