Birth Defects

Of the 4 million infants born annually in the United States, about 3 to 5 percent are born with birth defects. Birth defects are the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States, accounting for more than 20% of all infant deaths. Of about 120,000 U.S. babies born each year with a birth defect, 8,000 die during their first year of life. In addition, birth defects are the fifth-leading cause of years of potential life lost and contribute substantially to childhood morbidity and long-term disability

Most birth defects occur in the first three months of pregnancy, when the organs are forming. It is in these crucial first few weeks that an embryo is most susceptible to teratogens, substances that can cause defects.
