Synopsis: The article describes a study that shows the heightened chances of babies with Cerebral Palsy when women took antibiotics during their pregnancy and especially late in their pregnancy.

"Some two in 1,000 children born at term develop cerebral palsy; the risk is higher for those babies born early. The risk for the children in this study was, overall, about two in every 100, while the risk for those whose mothers had taken one or both antibiotics was three-to-four per every 100 children, the researchers said." -
