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 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. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
