What are the effects of hypoxia at birth?!
Question: What are the effects of hypoxia at birth?
I know of a child who was born like this, he is a-sexual, anti-social and has very strange behaviour plus he's extremely apathetic and has no "close" relationships, but this person is very intelligent, with no signs of brain issues other than ADD, Chronic insomnia, poor immune system and occasional light headedness. I'm just wondering if this is all caused from his birth experience.
This is more for curiosity than anything else.
Oh and the mother smoked while pregnant and who knows what else she did.
Answers:
When a child was born with hypoxia this used to be referred to as a "Blue Baby". And it meant that the child would have mental and neurological issues that pertained to the lack of oxygen in utero.
Yes, the mother's smoking is a very important factor in this. Medical science knows this now, just as drinking alcohol, smoking effects the quality of air the developing fetus receives.
NAturally, someone who is born with this cannot help it and tries to live as best as she or he can. But the effects can range from minimal to extreme. And cerebral palsy is a very real effect of hypoxia during birth.
