Can cerebral palsy run in families?🤔
Most cases of cerebral palsy are NOT inherited.
They are caused by:
âś… Birth injuries
âś…Infections during pregnancy
âś…Lack of oxygen at birth
âś…Severe jaundice
âś… Brain trauma
Only a very small number of cases have a genetic link.
So if you have one child with CP, it doesn’t mean your next child will have it too. Let’s stop the blame, especially on mothers. 💔
