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.

Can Achondroplasia be detected before birth?
Yes, achondroplasia can be detected before birth through prenatal genetic testing, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). These tests can identify specific genetic abnormalities, including the mutation responsible for achondroplasia.
How is achondroplasia passed on?
When a mother gives birth (naturally) to a child who has it, the mother may transmit it during birth
How many people are born with achondroplasia each year?
Approximately 1 in 15,000 to 40,000 births result in a child with achondroplasia each year.
What would be the fate of a child that inherits achondroplasia and why?
There is no specific right answer to this question, there are many factors that will decide the outcome of the quality of life of a person with achondroplasia, 2 of which would be what complications arise and of course the child themselves.
What type of inheritance is achondroplasia?
Achondroplasia is inherited by the parents as a dominant disease. It occurs from a defect in the FGFR3 gene. It usually occurs spontaneously. if both parents have the disease they have a 25% chance of having a normal sized child, a 50% chance of having a child with Achondroplasia, and a 25% chance of the child getting both genes from each parent which results in death.
If a couple with normal phenotypes get married and have a child then what is the chance that the child will develope achondroplasia?
The chance that the child will develop achondroplasia from parents with normal phenotypes is very low. Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by a specific mutation. In most cases, it arises from a new mutation rather than being inherited from parents with normal phenotypes.
Can hemophilia be detected in the child before birth?
yes hemophilia can be detected before birth
What the age of onset for achondroplasia?
Achondroplasia, is the mutation in the FGFR3 gene that is responsible for turning cartilage into bone. It is noticed through child development due to shortness for their age and other skeletal problems throughout life
Do you have to pay child support before a child is born?
No you do not. The mother-to-be can not sue for child support until after birth.
What happens if a woman is hemoraging before child birth?

Can a pregnant women get a divorce in Oklahoma?
If a woman has an extramatrital affair and becomes pregnant with her lover's child before she is divorced from her husband, paternity tests must be collected at the time of the birth to determine whose child it is. If it is proven not to be your husband's child, he has no legal claim to that child...HOWEVER many of the State's still hold him financially responsible for the actual birth.
What are the Duties of a father before the birth of his child?
