The family was shocked after giving birth. None of the parents were prepared for this situation. Anxiety, grief and guilt about the child’s future create a helpless situation.

Usually, a woman goes to the doctor first after learning about her pregnancy. The doctor conducts various physical examinations on time and starts the necessary medicines based on the mother’s health, so that both the mother and the unborn child are healthy.

Even a slight carelessness during pregnancy can have a terrible impact on the lives of the mother and the child. Therefore, it is very important to seek medical advice from the beginning and get the necessary tests done. If you neglect it even a little, the consequences can be permanent and tragic.

Recently, an incident came to light where a pregnant woman did not contact a gynecologist for the first four months. No medical tests were done. This neglect later had a huge impact on the life of her child.

Recently, doctor Dr. Samra Masud shared a horrific and heartbreaking incident on her Instagram handle. She said that a pregnant woman came to her chamber with labor pains. Then she came to know that the woman had not contacted any gynecologist for four months, nor had she even undergone a single emergency initial examination.

When the time came for delivery and the baby was born, it was found that the newborn baby had a serious birth defect. The baby’s spine protruded outside the body—a very complex and rare problem, which in medical terms is called Spina Bifida. In this condition, the baby’s chances of survival are very slim.

Doctor Samra Masud shared this incident on Instagram. She said that such a condition can usually be understood and controlled through timely medical scans and proper advice. But when that sense of responsibility is lacking, such a disaster occurs.

In this condition, the baby’s nervous system and other organs can be damaged and its chances of survival are very low.

What is the cause of this disaster?

Dr. Samra clearly said that the main reason for this child’s condition is the mother’s negligence. Not taking folic acid regularly and not getting the necessary medical check-ups in the first three months of pregnancy has led to such an unfortunate outcome.

It is absolutely necessary to consult a doctor early in pregnancy, get certain tests (such as NT scan, double marker test, etc.) done, and take the prescribed medication daily. Because many birth defects start early in pregnancy, when the organs of the fetus are formed.

The family was shocked to see the child. None of the parents were prepared for such a thing. Anxiety about the child’s future, grief, and guilt all combined to create a helpless situation.
