Various complications during intrauterine development can impact a child's speech development.
- Maternal toxicosis,
- Infections, intoxications, metabolic disorders (e.g., significant excess weight of the mother),
- Obstetric pathologies (premature rupture of membranes, placental abruption, umbilical cord entanglement, abnormal fetal position),
- Genetic disorders.
The earlier the fetus's brain is damaged, the more pronounced the impairments will be. Pathogenic (disease-causing) factors affecting the fetus during the perinatal period and childbirth will negatively impact the brainstem in 95-99% of cases. All the factors mentioned above during pregnancy can lead to impaired formation of the baby's brain speech centers and negatively affect the development of the speech apparatus.
Diseases in the mother during pregnancy, such as rubella, flu, kidney and liver diseases, endocrine disorders, Rh conflicts, and injuries, can disrupt the brain's structure and break neuronal connections, affecting the child's central nervous system.
It is also essential to understand that if there is hypoxia, asphyxia, hemorrhage, or cervical spine injuries during childbirth, this can damage the speech centers, resulting in impaired speech development in the future, as it negatively impacts the nervous system and can cause delays and disturbances in psychomotor development.
The risks encountered during pregnancy do not guarantee a 100% chance of speech impairment in the child. Carefully follow your doctor's recommendations, and look forward to meeting your little miracle.
