Question

I am now four months pregnant and all checks at the hospital have been normal. However, I am still quite worried, fearing that my child might develop cerebral palsy after birth and I can’t feel at ease.

Answer

To ensure proper newborn care, first, inpatient treatment should be undergone to facilitate fetal monitoring, recovery, or cesarean section if necessary, in order to avoid brain damage to the fetus during the birthing process. A baby born within one month of leaving the mother’s womb and living in the natural environment grows and develops rapidly in all aspects. However, their ability to adapt to the environment is relatively poor, and they are highly susceptible to infection, which can lead to cerebral palsy. In short, as long as conditions permit, newborns must go to nearby health centers for regular physical examinations.
