Hey Gracie!
I am 25 years old and living with Spina Bifida. I am also 6 mths Pregnant and all ultrasounds have said that my baby is healthy and does not have Spina Bifida. My husband does not have SB. I was told that if 1 parent has SB the chance of the baby having it is 1 in 100....HOWEVER...if you take folic acid before getting pregnant and for the first 12 weeks(ask your dr how much you should take...it may be more than normal doses) the risk drops to 1 in 1000....which is the same for pregnancies where neither parent have SB. I have just set up a yahoo group for people living with SB to share experiences and to get advice from others. It might be helpful for you to come check it out and get some ideas/advice from people. I would love to see you there and we can talk about lots of other issues you and your man may be facing (or may face in the future) http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/sbhelp...
I hope this helps you!
