Certain birth defects are discovered only after the baby is born, such as congenital heart defects (which affects how a baby's body works) and gait and balance issues such as cerebral palsy. Many birth defects can be treated, either surgically or with medication. Some people may require aidive devices such as hearing aids or wheelchairs.
