Spina Bifida. What is it?
Dr. Jim reveals some of the features of birth defects called spina bifida. In addition to revealing spina bifida consequences, this 2 minute PowerPoint video reveals ways the condition can be prevented.
Folic acid taken daily when planning pregnancy or at the first signs and symptoms of pregnancy, reduces the risk of babies born with the defect. Most prenatal vitamins contain 400mcg to 1000mcg of folic acid, which is sufficient.
