Patient's question:
Married to my husband for three months, I was very happy to get pregnant. To have a healthy baby, I wanted to learn more about related knowledge. Last time, I saw a child with cerebral palsy. Seeing the parents' faces, they looked very upset. Having someone like that at home must be very stressful.Doctor's answer:
Preventing childhood cerebral palsy starts with expectant mothers. During pregnancy, regular fetal examinations should be conducted. Women of childbearing age who have serious illnesses or are exposed to teratogenic substances (toxins, chemicals, radiation, etc.) should avoid pregnancy as much as possible. During pregnancy, you should not argue, fight, fall, drink alcohol, smoke, undergo radiation, or have excessive sexual activity. From the 28th week of pregnancy to one week after birth, prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases (rubella virus, toxoplasmosis, hepatitis, etc.), avoid preterm birth, low birth weight, and large babies, prevent asphyxiation and intracranial hemorrhage, and prevent symptoms of hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice).
