The marriage is the first step to building a family and with it, a community is built and then a country/nation is established. With this, it is very important to make sure that the baby is healthy. It is also better to consult your doctor for early detection as well as treatment in case there are complications. This is heavily important since the health of the baby is dependent on the parents.
