  According to the survey, the incidence of pediatric cerebral palsy has been increasing in recent years, and many children are suffering from lifelong pain, and many families are suffering because of this. Looking around at the healthy and happy smiling faces of children, while their own children are losing the same opportunity, what should parents do in order to prevent such a tragedy from happening? How to do the prevention work?  Experts from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University point out that the causes of pediatric cerebral palsy are not only the effects of improper protection, but also the effects of the congenital mother, therefore, parents must provide a safe and reliable congenital and acquired environment when their children are weakest. This can be done in the following ways: First, pre-conception work Pre-marital and pre-pregnancy check-ups are done to ensure the health of the pregnant woman and to understand the basic conditions that will occur in pregnancy and to prepare in advance.  Second, in the pregnant women in the pregnancy 1, pregnant women should maintain a happy body and mind every day, conducive to the development and growth of the child.  2, to ensure nutrition, pregnant women because of their own and fetal development needs, consumption than the average person, so the supply of nutrients must be adequate, rich, which is particularly important in the last three months of pregnancy. In the second trimester of pregnancy, the fetus is developing faster and it is a critical period for brain development. Providing pregnant women with abundant protein, fat, glucose, nucleic acid, vitamins and trace elements in a timely manner is of great significance to the normal development of the fetus.  3. Pregnant women should actively conduct early prenatal checkups and do perinatal health care to prevent congenital diseases in the fetus; both parents should abstain from bad habits, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, and not abusing narcotics, sedatives and other important substances; 4. Avoid contact with harmful and toxic substances such as radiation and frequent ultrasound examinations.  5, prevention of influenza, rubella and other viral infections, do not contact cats, dogs, etc.; 6, pay attention to fetal education, it is proved that fetal education is very important to the development of the child’s brain, the fetus from four or five months already has the initial listening, visual and other perceptual skills, and the emergence of the initial memory, seven or eight months fetal consciousness begins to emerge. The fetus can perceive light and sound in the uterus, relying on his sensory organs already have the ability to adapt to the environment and have complex responses to his mother’s emotions and activities, fetal activity is also governed by the biological clock and is related to the mother’s activities and emotions. In fact, the mother and her fetus are “talking” long before the baby is born. The newborn is born with a special ability to interact with its parents, and its singular talents are expressed in facial expressions, imitation, big eyes and sweet smiles, and crying with tears.  Third, choose a good hospital for your child during the birth process to ensure a smooth delivery and to reduce unnecessary situations by staying in the hospital in time for the expected delivery date. One of the major causes of cerebral palsy is fetal asphyxia and intracranial hemorrhage during delivery, so it is important to prevent premature and difficult deliveries.  Fourth, after the birth After the birth of the child, do a good job in caring for the newborn and growing up, the child must be given adequate care and concern, especially for the occurrence of pediatric diseases, and the child’s abnormalities should be detected in time and timely consultation should be made to avoid the serious consequences caused by the disease.  The child’s is the responsibility of the parents, and the parents must do every step to ensure that the child can be born and grow healthy, prevent cerebral palsy, and usher in the child’s healthy smiling face, which is our common wish.
