Birth defects and birth disorders affect millions of people every year in the world. Although a birth defect may be caused by genetic or environment factors, over sixty percent of birth defect causes are currently not known. Education on prevention, causes, and treatment is one way to help families manage birth defects.

Introduction to Causes of Birth Defects

This is my first post in the blog I decided to choose this topic of the blog as most of the parents are not fully aware of the causes of birth defects.
Sometimes birth defects just happen and are not caused by anything that the parents did or didn't do. Many parents feel guilty if they have a child with a birth defect even if they did everything they could to have a healthy child. If you have a child with a birth defect, it might be helpful to talk with other parents who have had a child with the same condition.
Sometimes the causes of birth defects are figured out after the baby is born. Whenever possible, it is important to know what you can do for a better chance of having a healthy child in the future. I hope that the information in my blog will be helpful in indentifying the causes of birth defects.
