The heart begins to take shape and starts beating in the first six weeks of pregnancy. Any issues during this time can cause structural problems in the heart. The minor defects do not need treatment but the others demand surgeries. To avoid such problems the mother could avoid certain risk factors like,
· Control Diabetes: The mother can decrease the danger of congenital heart defects by keeping her diabetes in control.
· Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Alcohol and smoking increases the risk of congenital heart defects
· Heredity: Genetic testing at the beginning of the pregnancy can detect such disorders

The recovery period of the baby can differ based on the severity of their condition and the surgery performed. This period can vary from 3 days to a couple of months. The baby will need frequent follow-up visits with the doctor. Parents must take adequate precautions to avoid any kind of infection.

Sometimes, doctors find it difficult to estimate the specific reason for a congenital heart defect in a baby. But the most common reasons are:
· Genetic problems in the child
· Consumption of alcohol or certain medications during pregnancy
· A viral infection in the mother in the first trimester of pregnancy.
