5. Prevention During Birth
Advancements in medical science revolutionized prenatal care with ultrasound, x-rays, and imaging equipment that allows doctors and parents to monitor the development of the fetus in the womb. As a result of the improvement in care and technology, it is now easier for physicians to identify congenital disabilities in the womb before birth.
As a result, it is now easier for doctors to identify and treat prenatal conditions before they cause any harm to the unborn child. However, cerebral palsy is a congenital condition with no cure and no existing treatment that is effective for resolving the situation after birth.
If a doctor suspects that the unborn child is suffering from the effects of cerebral palsy, it’s vital that they inform the parents and regularly monitor the fetus during the developmental stage. Doctors may issue expectant mothers with equipment to monitor fetal and maternal heart rates, allowing doctors to intervene if any problems arise during the pregnancy.
