It's essential to understand potential birth defects such as muscular dystrophy, sickle cell anemia, Tay-Sachs disease, cerebral palsy, and more. This journey involves weighing the possibilities and potential challenges of various congenital conditions including spina bifida, cleft lip/palate, clubfoot, and cystic fibrosis.
