As far as medications and body faults, your parents could have taken a drug that caused you to be born with faults. What caused the law that drugs had to get approval by the FDA was the drug, Thalidomide. See the picture on that link of a baby with a thumb on its foot. Pregnant women took it for morning sickness. It caused women to have severely deformed babies like a foot coming out of their elbow.

If you eat apples, oranges of pears while pregnant, it can also do the same thing. Just kidding. A drug that can help your acne today is Accutane. It can also give you deformed babies.
