  @Dr Levis Mweri,
  The cause of developmental disorders of the foetus are as a result of many factors. these include genetic factors (inherited disorders), sponteneous mutation, errors in the chromosomes, parental ages, parental habits like smoking, alcoholism, and drug use, medication and medical procedures, and the environment.

  As Edna has put it, there can be a lot of things that cause this but it’s important to know that some of these can be prevented by managing maternal health and conditions during pregnancy.
