Serious birth disorders you should be aware of
from: Sarah VedaBirth disorders are a subject that none of us wants to think
about when we're pregnant, and in fact, you shouldn't spend time
dwelling on things that will probably never happen. But, in the
unlikely event that your child is diagnosed with a birth
disorder, you should know where to go for information. Here are
some of the more common birth disorders, and some basic
information on diagnosis.
· Autism - Autism is the lack of ability to develop normal
relationships. This disorder can begin at birth, or develop
during later, but is always present by the time the child is two
and half. Autistic children often fail to smile or respond to
others, even their parents, and they don't like to be touched.
Their lack of responsiveness often makes them appear to be
mentally handicapped, though they are usually of normal
intelligence. These children are usually plagued with behavior
and developmental problems. Autism affects approximately 5 of
10,000 babies born in the US, and varies greatly in its degree
of severity. Some children, with therapy, can function fairly
normally, but many others will require lifetime care. · Cerebral
Palsy (CP) - Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the brain,
and presents itself through impaired motor skills. These
impairments range from mild to severe. Currently, in the US
there are about 15,000 cases a year, though these numbers are
decreasing due to increased awareness of the importance of
prenatal care and safer childbirth practices. CP can be caused
by a prenatal infection in the mother or by severe or traumatic
labor. There is no cure, but if treated early with physical
therapy and other treatments, some children are able to function
fairly normally. Some very severe cases can leave a child
completely disabled. · Cleft Lip/Palate - This is a condition
which causes a split where the upper lip and the roof of the
mouth fail to grow together properly. This condition affects
about 1 in 700 births in the US, and ranges in severity. Cleft
lip can be caused by heredity, or by unhealthy prenatal
conditions, such as lack of folic acid or malnutrition. This
condition is usually treated with one or more surgeries, dental
adjustments and speech therapy. Most children live a normal
life, with just a small scar.
If your child is diagnosed with any birth disorder, it is
important to seek treatment and support immediately. Your doctor
can recommend resources to help you deal with the physical and
emotional effects of birth disorders. Getting help and
information early on is critical to creating the best life
possible for your baby and for you.
