How to Prevent Cerebral Palsy in Newborns

Patient's question:

Last year, I kept trying to have a child but couldn't, but this year, after working hard with my wife, we finally got pregnant. It's been four months now, but I've heard about many cases of cerebral palsy, and I'm afraid my child might also have it. Although the probability is very low, it's better to take precautions.

Doctor's answer:

Before the fetus is born, pregnant women should actively undergo early prenatal examinations and take good care of their health during pregnancy to prevent congenital diseases in the fetus. During pregnancy, it is necessary to avoid bad habits such as smoking and drinking, and not to abuse drugs like anesthetics and sedatives.
Medical advice: During childbirth, fetal asphyxia and intracranial hemorrhage caused by delivery are important factors or causes leading to childhood cerebral palsy. It is necessary to prevent premature birth and difficult labor. After the fetus is born, it is important to strengthen care and provide reasonable feeding within the first month to prevent intracranial infection, brain trauma, and other issues.
