Medicines

Certain environmental factors, including drugs and other medications used by pregnant women, can increase the risk for birth defects.

Other birth defects are caused due to specific behaviours or exposure to chemicals while pregnant. These include smoking, drinking alcohol, as well as taking illegal drugs.

Certain birth defects can be diagnosed before the baby is born for example, cleft lips and palate or spina bifida. Other birth defects are only discovered after birth, like congenital heart defects (which affect the way that a baby's heart functions) or balance and gait problems such as cerebral palsy. Many birth defects can be addressed via surgery or through medicine. Some might require assistive devices like wheelchairs or hearing aids.

It is important for mothers who are expecting to discuss any medications they are taking with their healthcare providers during pregnancy. This includes prescription, over-the-counter and herbal medicines. It's also important that pregnant women are aware of the effects of chemicals and toxins in their surroundings.
