Experts Stress Awareness on Birth Defects

Experts are talking about National Birth Defects Prevention Month to help people understand birth defects.

These are problems that babies are born with and can affect any part of their body.

Some of these problems can be prevented or managed with early care.

Doctors say it's important for moms to take folic acid, get vaccinated, and manage conditions like diabetes before and during pregnancy to reduce risks.

This helps ensure healthier babies and supports families affected by these conditions.
