Final weeks of pregnancy are critical
.!. Babies born just a few weeks prematurely are more than three times as likely to have cerebral palsy than full-term infants. In fact, those last few weeks of pregnancy are critical to a child’s health and development. New research indicates that late preterm infants (those born 34-36 weeks gestation) had a much higher risk of developmental delays than babies born full-term. The earlier an infant is born, the higher the risk of some neuro-developmental problems, the research shows. For example, infants born between 30 and 33 weeks gestation were nearly eight times as likely as full-term infants to have cerebral palsy. This adds to the growing body of evidence showing that being born just a few weeks too soon can have lasting consequences that can no longer be described as temporary or benign. These findings reinforce the message that a few extra weeks of pregnancy can have a beneficial…

Epsom salts can reduce cerebral palsy risk
Magnesium sulfate (epsom salts) can reduce a premature infant’s risk of developing cerebral palsy by 50 percent. The result of the new study, recently completed at University of Alabama-Birmingham and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, promises to be the biggest breakthrough in the management of high-risk pregnancies in 30 years. A Room with a View Magnesium sulfate is a chemical compound with a wide variety of medical uses. While it cannot prevent the onset of premature birth, it is well known to help regulate maternal blood pressure. Cerebral palsy is a blanket term for birth defects that can lead to a variety of movement and posture disorders caused by damage to the developing brain. Approximately one-third of all cases are linked to brain damage caused during premature birth – defined as occurring before the 32nd week of pregnancy. The researchers emphasized that study’s findings only apply to premature births,…
