General Population Risk for Birth Defects
... A “birth defect” is a health problem or physical change, which is present in a baby at the time he/she is born. Birth defects may be very mild in which the baby looks and acts like any other baby, or birth defects may be very severe, and you can immediately tell there is a problem. Some birth defect ...
