Birth Defects

Today there are a number of sophisticated technologies, including advanced levels of ultrasound and MRI's to aid in determining whether your baby is developing normally.

However, even simple and standard blood testing, performed appropriately and in accordance with any risk factors which may be particular to the parents, can assist doctors in assuring that a baby will be born normal, healthy and free of birth defects.

The quality of obstetrical care can have a dramatic affect on the outcome for mother and child. Insufficient or misread tests can result in the birth of a child who may not live beyond a certain amount of years or weeks. At best such children will have a diminished quality and length of life and could bankrupt a family with ongoing medical costs.
