A member asked:
I had hip replacement on july 19, 2012 i conceived on july 11, 2012 could this have cause the hydrocephalus in my baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nope : It is highly unlikely to be causal, you probably had some short acting anesthetics and narcotic pain relievers during your stay, hydrocephalus in babies has a variety of causes, most often prematurity, but very often is " idiopathic" meaning we don't know the exact cause. Hope you and the baby are well!
