Bella asked:


My sister is 32 weeks pregnant(baby has Spina bifida) and we were wondering would the baby survive if born now? and would the baby have a smaller chance of survival because she has spina bifida?

t asked:


I’m a 25 yr. old female who has pain not only in my lower back, but many other parts of my body. I was always very active growing up and participated in a few different sports, but now that I’ve gotten older I still get these body pains for no apparent reason. I’m wondering if there is a link or if they just come with age? My Spina Bifida is very minor and only affects my last vertebrae.

preg2 asked:


at our 20 week scan we had to go back in as our baby is said to have a lemon shaped head which can be a sign of spina bifida. No other signs present so I was curious if anyone knew of someone that this has happened to where everything turned out to be fine?
