Is this a trick question? They're kids, treat them like kids. This is a no brainer.

You can be x-rayed to see if you have Spina Bifida Occulta, the mildest form of Spina Bifida. If you have the more severe form, myelomeningocele, your parents would know it at least when you are born, if not before through ultrasounds.
Spina Bifida is usually not fatal in utero, especially with modern medicine in developed countries. Before antibiotics were available, most children with Spina Bifida died shortly after birth, but not in utero.
No, spina bifida is a birth defect. Therefore, a person has to be born with spina bifida to have it.
No, that is not a part of Spina Bifida. What does happen with many children with Spina Bifida is a condition called Arnold Chiari II, which causes the cerebellum and the brain stem to extend down into the area where the spinal cord is, which can cause various problems such as swallowing and feeding problems in the infant with Spina Bifida.
Spina Bifida is often accompanied by hydrocephalus, or "water on the brain," which can cause learning disabilities. But not all children with Spina Bifida have hydrocephalus and therefore not all of them will have learning disabilities. Early intervention is vital.
No, "Nuera" is not another name for Spina Bifida. Myelomeningocele is another name for Spina Bifida.
Spina Bifida is Latin for "split spine".

I myself have Spina Bifida and went to camps for disabled children as a child. Children with Spina Bifida can usually participate in camping activities with no problem, unless the child is on crutches or a walker and does not have a wheelchair, and there is a lot of walking involved. The parents or guardians of such a child need to be aware of the need to check the child's feet and legs for sores and blisters while camping, as well as the child's bottom if the child does not walk.
