With all the news of the octuplets birth, it is important to look into the medical side of the birth. When fetuses have to share a womb, they have to share everything including nutrients, and space.

Because there is a limit to what a mother can ingest, having more children at the same time increases the likelihood that they will be born with medical defects or injuries. For this reason, it is incredibly important that doctors monitor the birth at every stage.

Without proper care, infants can be subjected to life long injuries. If you or someone you know has had to suffer through birth injuries, contact the Philadelphia birth injury attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, PC at 215-329-3511.

A Florida Medical Board agency has revoked the license of a doctor who is at the center of a controversial case involving the death of a baby born at an abortion clinic. 

The medical board found Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique guilty of medical malpractice, as well as having unlicensed individuals conducting procedures that should have been done by licensed medical professionals.

This case stems from when a woman  gave birth while in an abortion clinic.  According to allegations,  the baby was born and breathing.  The doctor allegedly swept the baby in the trash, and did not tye the umbilical cord.  The umbilical cord not being tyed resulted in the baby bleeding to death in the trash bag.  The remains of the baby were recovered after an investigation was started into the case.

Birth defects may be more understood in the next few years,  after a large grant has been awarded to further the study of the field.  The University of Utah and the Utah Health Department have been given over $5 million dollars to study birth defects.

The grant was given by the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention to promote research of the topic.  The groups conducting the research will receive around $1 million dollars per year for the next five years to conduct their study and research of birth defects.  

One of the main focuses of the research from the groups will be to study the link of the  environment and genetics in birth effects occurring.

The old wives tale that cats are dangerous to have around newborns has been debunked. However there are still those who will hold to the old idea. In fact, recently, Dr. T. Berry Brazelton wrote an article backing the idea.

Fortunately for cat lovers, and any other person, having a cat around the house will not necessarily be a danger to your infant. Instead of worrying about old wives tales, perhaps more important things should be focused on.
