I'm wondering why there are abnormal babies? I'm not in medical practice but based on what I observed friends of mine who married with a blood type of B & O are not good combination and will produced unusual baby. Others say that it's taboo to marry relatives specially third degree less on first and second. If they do surely they will have a problem on their baby. How come that other faith married their relatives and they have healthy babies? Did this things apply only to Christian prohibiting
to marry relatives. I understand that a mother having more than 15 siblings will probably produced even one or a menopausal mother , or on early pregnancy when a mother have a weird food cravings. Just asking, don't know the reason why if it is true or not.

Sometimes there is a genetic reason like down syndrome is one extra chromosome. There can be a reason like the disability happens sometime in pregnancy like in the case of my son. He has spina bifida and hydrocephalus. My other two children are normal. I know that some pregnant ladies have an abortion but not me. I love my disabled son very much indeed. I know some children that are Autistic and that wasn't known at birth.

main reason is child birth at young age and some people suffer from different kinds of gene symptoms ,that might be another factor.so if we work out in large extent with care and maintain our body,these defects wont run in our gene

Sometimes, heredity has the effect in this issue too. It may not immediately observed on your kids but somewhere generation will have to have such kind of abnormalities. Latest reasearch showed that not only women in their menopausal stage have the high risk of having abnormalities in their kids but men also have contributed in this factor. Acfording to some experts, as men aged, their sperm's DNA changes making some defect on the DNA.
Furthermore, environmental factors greatly affects here. The chemicals being absorbed not only by female but male can also resulted into abnormalities in babies.

Babies are a great gift from God. Every one will feel a lot of pity while seeing the abnormal babies. This kind of babies got a curse from God at their birth. I wonder why god punished the innocent babies in this sort? May be it is due to their parents fault, but it is really unfair to punish the innocent babies who don't do any mistakes as well as don't know even the meaning of mistake.
In medical field various reasons are giving for the abnormal babies like the parents blood group are not a good combination, marriage between blood relatives will produce abnormal babies and so on. In religious way, people will say this kind of babies did a lot of sins in their previous birth, so only they got this kind of abnormal birth now. Most of the persons are seeing this kind of babies as an exhibition product and feel a lot for them. What ever it is, this kind of babies are also God's gift and parents of this babies must give their full love and affection to them. They don't ignore the babies, and give their special attention to them. This kind of love and care will solve the problems of the babies soon.

Things have changed nowadays, long ago people met each other fell in love and had kids and if they were abnormal they would say that they were cast or some thing like that but times have changed and science is on another level they have managed to say which blood type matches with the other. I even heard that before getting pregnant you have to first go for a check up to see whether your blood matches i think it is not about religion but science

According to the study, it shows that babies having abnormalities resulted from the lifestyle habit of the mother during her pregnancy period. One factor that affects the incoming baby was that the food that they are going to eat,drink,stress,exposed to the polluted environment and etc. One way to determine the babies abnormality is by newborn screening test, this to evaluate and to know whether the baby is a carrier of a congenital diseases such as G6PD,Hypothyroidism,Galactosemia,Congenital anomaly and 2 more types of diseases..

there is so many caused of baby abnormality.with blood type B and O the baby has the chance to develops jaundice but it is not always because of incompatibility of their blood if you study medical you will know the detail why is that.and why is not good married close relative because they will carry the same gen quality if the gen is good that is okay but if bad well it is not good for the baby
