Congenital Anomalies

Congenital Anomalies referred to as birth defects have been observed mainly in newborn infants or children. These may result from any defect during the pregnancy period or birth complications to genetic malformation or viral infections in the fetus or during fetal development. Many congenital anomaly cases may have no specific cause to happen.

Why Some Newborns May Be Born With Defects?

Most birth defects are caused by genetic or environmental factors or a combination of the two (multifactorial birth defects). In most cases, however, the cause is unknown. Genetic or inherited causes include:

• Chromosomal defects.
• Single gene defects.
• Dominant inheritance.
• Recessive inheritance.
• Environmental factors.

There may be conditions during the pregnancy which may affect the fetus and cause irregular physical or mental growth. Moreover, any kind of illness during pregnancy like measles and diabetes, specifically the first nine weeks is the most sensitive, and in between can cause serious congenital anomalies in the infants.

Consumption of alcohol or drugs during pregnancy also increases the risk of birth defects in the newborns in future. Some unusual medications, during the maternity period, can also cause permanent damage to the fetus.

Because some chemicals can pollute the food, water, and air that which baby feeds inside the mother´s womb. However, it is always recommended to check and consult with your physician before taking any medication or supplement during the pregnancy.
