Medications

Certain environmental factors, such as drugs and other medications used by pregnant women, could increase the risk of developing birth defects. Certain birth defects are caused by mutations in genes or chromosomes. These types of mutations are typically passed through families. Some birth defects are caused by certain behaviors and exposure to chemicals during pregnancy. Drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and the use of illegal drugs are all examples.

Some birth defects can be detected before the birth of the infant like cleft lip and palate or spina bifida. Certain birth defects are only discovered after the baby is born, such as congenital heart problems (which affects the way that a baby's body functions) and gait and balance issues such as cerebral palsy. Many birth problems can be addressed whether through surgery or medications. Some might require assistive devices, for example, hearing aids or wheelchairs.

It is essential for expectant mothers to discuss any medications they take with their healthcare professionals during pregnancy. This includes prescription and over-the counter medications, as well dietary or herbal supplements. It is also essential for pregnant women to be aware of the adverse effects chemicals and toxins may have on their bodies. Those who are exposed to harmful substances in the early stages of pregnancy may expose their infants to a greater risk of certain birth defects, including spinal muscular atrophy and fetal alcohol syndrome.

The wrong diagnosis

Parents are typically informed of the birth defect within the first year following birth, or even years later.

Depending on the degree of the defect, it could require urgent medical intervention or surgery to reduce symptoms and improve the function. In the event of a delay in diagnosis, it could also have serious consequences.

The routine blood tests, which included hemoglobin electrophoresis showed that the Mother had beta Thalassemia.

The obstetricians had interpreted the nuchal transparency measurements incorrectly and failed to inform the mother that her child was at risk of Down syndrome and heart disease.

Parents want their children to be healthy and happy. Your child and your family members should be held accountable if a physician's carelessness or negligence increases the chance of injury.

Environmental Exposure

Environmental exposures can be the cause of serious birth defects. These birth defects can be caused by chemicals and physical substances found in air, food and water. These chemicals, also known as teratogens, can affect a foetus.
