Hello

Cerebral palsy in the fetus cannot be detected by blood or hormonal tests. It is mostly a genetic disorder.

As your doctor has mentioned that the problem in your child was due to lack of oxygen, i would suggest that you have to take care at the time of delivery. This might be the complication of delivery process.

Otherwise, your wife can conceive normally.

Thanks.
