Patient's question:
Now there are more children with cerebral palsy. We are also planning to have children and are especially afraid of this happening. Before pregnancy, we will definitely take all the necessary precautions and undergo all the required tests. However, during pregnancy, I heard that there are still risks involved. Especially since we live in the countryside, everything is quite inconvenient.Doctor's answer:
First, before the child is born: (1) Pregnant women should actively undergo prenatal examinations and take good antenatal care to prevent congenital diseases in the fetus; (2) They should quit bad habits, such as smoking and drinking, and avoid the abuse of narcotics and sedatives; (3) Prevent viral infections, such as influenza and rubella, and avoid contact with cats, dogs, etc.; (4) Avoid exposure to harmful and toxic substances, such as radiation and frequent ultrasound examinations. Pay attention to avoiding smoking and drinking, while also avoiding overeating and spicy foods. Pay attention to maintaining a good mood, a good life order, and dietary habits to help prevent diseases. The above are suggestions for preventing cerebral palsy during the antenatal period. I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
