We often blame the mother if things go wrong with babies. Did you know that Father and Mother both are equal contributors in building the genetic structure of a baby? There are 23 pairs of chromosomes that go together from father and mother to form a baby which means both father and mother are equally responsible to pass genetic issues to baby. This means while the mother bears the baby in her womb and takes care of his/her in utero, the health of the father at the time of conception should equally factor in. We see many babies born across the nation with heart diseases which are sometimes diagnosed as early as in womb at the fetal level.
