Role of maternal health during pregnancy in influencing infant heart health
Dr. Payal Choudhary emphasizes that a pregnant mother's health significantly impacts her baby's heart development. Gestational diabetes and hypertension pose substantial risks, potentially leading to congenital heart defects, abnormal heart rhythms, and increased cardiovascular disease risk in infants. Regular prenatal care, proper nutrition, physician-approved exercise, and avoiding harmful substances are crucial preventive measures.
