Question
A pregnant woman at 19 weeks has noticed that a three-year-old neighbor child is experiencing symptoms such as urinary incontinence, unsteady gait, difficulty eating, and slow response, which may indicate pediatric cerebral palsy. How should one prevent this condition?
Answer
To prevent pediatric cerebral palsy, it is first important to actively undergo prenatal examinations during pregnancy and maintain good perinatal health to prevent congenital diseases in the fetus. Pregnant women should quit bad habits such as smoking and drinking, and avoid the excessive use of anesthetics, sedatives, and other medications. At the same time, they should prevent infections from influenza, rubella, and other viruses, avoid contact with pets, and stay away from harmful substances like radiation. Additionally, it is advisable to limit frequent ultrasound examinations to maintain the health of the fetus.
