 Topic: Anatomy Scan

We had our anatomy scan today and unfortunately got the news our baby has spina bifida. We are obviously in shock, but have a specialist appointment tomorrow to find out our options. Just goes to show, taking folic acid for 6 months before conception does not guarantee anything.

Wow 's.
I know a girl who was born with it and is now a really happy 23 year old. She is still in a wheel chair (will be forever) but she is a happy girl.

What a shock. All the best for the specialist appointment and beyond.
I guess no matter what precautions we take, nothing is ever 100%.

i dont know what to say really....
i hope the specialist can shed some light on it.
I was googling some other stuff this morning unrelated to your problem but did come across a ph number for the spina bifida support group in auck of 846-2133.
All the best... we are all here for you and your family.
