| My five year old step-son has been diagnosed with a slight case of CP.
It has recently come to our attention that biological mother has genital herpes and did during time
of pregnancy and for some years prior to pregnancy.
Biological mother also has had severe cocaine/substance abuse problems before and after
pregnancy (during pregnancy unknown but suspected).
Could the cocaine use and genital herpes be the cause of his CP
(child was delivered vaginally)? He has also been given a
diagnosis of "global delay" and "mental retardation". Could these have been caused by mother's addictions and infections? PLEASE HELP |
