Should a woman born with Spina Bifida ever conceive a child?
Yes. Spina Bifida does not effect the reproductive system. If the man can get an erection, he can have children, unless he has a reproductive problem unrelated to Spina Bifida, such as too low of a sperm count.
Does spina bifida affect the brain?
Spina bifida can involve an incomplete development of the brain, caused by the failure of the fetus's spine to close properly during the first month of pregnancy. Some individuals have a learning disability, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
What causes Spina Bifida?
One of the known causes is a deficiency of folic acid in the diet of the mother during early pregnancy (the first trimester). During the first month of pregnancy the spine doesn't completely form. In other words, it is an opening of the spine. It happens before a woman even knows she's pregnant. There are several known factors which can contribute to the possibility of a child being born with Spina Bifida. Not all of the possible causes are well understood. There is known to be a correlation between the diet of the mother, whether or not she is taking a sufficient amount of folic acid both before pregnancy and during the first trimester. There are also possible causes such as the mother using a heating pad on her abdomen or immersing her abdomen in hot water during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. There is a higher risk of having a baby with Spina Bifida if the mother had a baby prior to the present one, who had a neural tube defect of any kind, including Spina Bifida, or if any other family members have been born with any type of neural tube defect.
Is there a medication to prevent or cure Spina Bifida?
At this time there is no cure for Spina Bifida. There are surgeries to treat some of the medical issues involved with the defects; doctors can shunt the excess fluid from the brain and cover the defect in the spine to prevent infection and further injury to the exposed spinal cord and nerves. Research shows a daily dose of 4mg of folic acid (Vitamin B9) taken by women at risk, starting one to three months before conception and continued through the first trimester reduces the risk of having a baby with the defect up to 75%. Continued use of folic acid during pregnancy may reduce the severity of the defects when they do occur. Folic acid .4mg taken one month prior to conception and through out the first trimester reduces the risk of having a baby with Spina Bifida to about 1% in women with no known risks.
How does Spina Bifida affect the bladder?
AnswerBowel and bladder function are controlled by nerves which come from the lowest levels of the spinal column. Therefore, almost all individuals with Spina Bifida will have trouble controlling their bowel and bladder function. Close attention to emptying the bladder, promptly treating urinary tract infections and maintaining kidney function is essential to preserving the health of individuals with Spina Bifida.
Your 2nd pregnancy lead to anacephalia and was aborted during third month Any chance for the same during your third pregnancy What all should you take care?
You have a 1 in 35 chance of a neural tube defect happening once you have a child with this defect. You can be tested genetically, (although this is a new procedure,) it is believed that anacephalia as well as other nureal tube deffects, are both genetic and enviromentally caused. It is recommended to take 4000 mg of folic acid daily, this has been proven to cut down some chances. ---- My first child was born with anacephalia and spina bifida, and I did take the recommended dosage, now I have a healthy 13 year old.
