Question
How can you detect if a fetus might have cerebral palsy before birth?
Answer
I’m sorry, but currently, it is only possible to detect certain types of intellectual disabilities, such as Down syndrome, through prenatal tests like the Down syndrome screening. In most cases, it is not possible to determine during pregnancy whether a fetus will have an intellectual disability. Therefore, it is recommended that parents take their child for professional examinations and treatment as soon as possible after birth to avoid missing the best treatment window. At the same time, they should also pay attention to the pregnant woman’s diet and lifestyle habits to avoid risk factors that may lead to malformed or low-birth-weight infants.
