What causes birth abnormalities, or what not to do to avoid a birth defect?

hi, i would say stay away from any harsh cleaners / chemicals. no hair dying or anything. keep smokers away and /or dont smoke. have green vegies at almost every meal. i know this stuff is scary i worried about it alot with all my kids. if you try and keep a good folic acid intake you will be fine. dont be scared if you have to have a ceserean because i think there are less chances with birth defects that way. sometimes you can do everything healthy and right and the doctor can leave the baby in the birth cannel to long causing palsys and stuff.

Be as healthy as possible before becoming pregnant. Excersize. Take proper vitamins. Quit smoking. No drinking. Eat healthy. Keep these up while pregnant.

Get genetic counseling before conception (if this is still possible). Many abnormalities have nothing to do with birth environment and everything to do with DNA.
Live healthy even before you might be pregnant - don't wait until you are sure to stop smoking and drinking.
Folic acid is very important. It is found in multivitamins.
