Is that your name? How old are you? How many children you have?
Are you asking this question because one of recent pregnancies have resulted in child probably having CP?
Yes indeed one of causation for CP is lack of oxygen to child during or before delivery.
Any compromise during pregnancy results in lack of blood supply to the child which results in physiological in fetus. Fetus redistributes the blood supply to brain and other vital organs, which can cause hemorrhage and hence this baby will grow to have CP depending upon the extent of injury.
Hypoxia during birth would lead to Ischemic changes and hence would lead to encephalopathy changes and this baby will also grow to have CP.
How is your child, if this is regarding your child?
I would be interested if you keep me informed about this child and type of intervention we have planned.
Bye.
