By Wayne Parsons
The first question is what are the factors that raise the risk of cerebral palsy (CP)?
1. Labor and delivery problems.
2. Premature baby.
2. Low birth weight - less that 5 lbs 7.5 oz.
3. Do not cry for 5 minutes after delivery.
4. Brain hemorrhage.
5. On a ventilator for more than 4 weeks.
6 Apgar scote of 0 to 3.
7. Breech birth.
8. Problems during pregnancy such as vaginal bleeding after the 6th month.
If you know a child who may be suufering from cerebral palsy check to see if any of these situations arose during delivery.
