1. Folic Acid -- Babies
   Folic acid is an essential vitamin found in meat, fresh fruit and vegetables. It is added to many breakfast cereals, of which one standard serving gives a quarter of the Daily Recommended Allowance (DRA). Research has shown that mothers who have a deficiency of folic acid in their diets may be at an increased risk of having a child with spina bifida, and that taking an extra daily dose of folic acid from at least 2 months before the conception of the baby can reduce the chances of this happening.
2. Anencephaly -- Neural Tube Defects
   Anencephaly is a congenital birth defect that occurs in approximately one in one thousand pregnancies. It is a neural tube defect, just as is spina bifida. Life expectancy for a baby with anencephaly after birth is just a few hours, sometimes a few days at most.
3. Hydrocephalus -- Bleeding
   International Federation for Hydrocephalus and Spina Bifida ("if") "If" members are national organizations for spina bifida and hydrocephalus in more than 30 countries. The "if" website includes basic information about hydrocephalus and spina bifida, a newsletter, links to information and other resources, as well as information about the organization.
4. Getting Pregnant -- Pregnancy
   Getting pregnant is not an easy task, but understanding the essential physiology of the process is the best place to start. In this chapter I will describe the arduous journey that sperm must make through the female genitals to reach the egg, as well as the simultaneous adventure of the egg during which it matures to become genetically ready for fertilization, erupts from the ovary, and gets grabbed by the fallopian tube, fertilized, and then hustled along into the womb at exactly the right moment to implant. Failure of the sperm or egg to make an important connection anywhere along this complicated itinerary will prevent pregnancy from occurring.

6. Birth Defect -- Mothers
   The topic is emotional in that parents are understandably deeply upset when they learn that their child has a serious birth defect. Many parents feel that medical science should be able to prevent, or at least identify in advance, all possible birth defects. They often feel that someone is at fault. Mothers might blame themselves. They might feel that they either did something that caused the defect or that they failed to do something that could have prevented it. This is almost never the case.
7. Folic Acid -- Pregnancies
   Folic acid... known as folate, is important for the production and maintenance of new cells. This is especially necessary during both pregnancy and infancy when cell growth is extremely rapid. Both adults and children need folic acid to make normal red blood cells and to prevent anemia.
8. Folic Acid
   Folic Acid, a B vitamin, is an essential part of any healthy diet. It helps the body digest and use proteins as well as create new cells when needed. It is ... known for preventing birth defects and protecting against heart disease. Additionally, it is necessary to keep the brain functioning correctly and for mental and emotional health. For a well-rounded, nutritious diet, you need to incorporate foods that contain folic acid into your eating plans. Folic acid can also be obtained by taking a supplement, but should only be used when your diet doesn't provide enough of it.
9. Hydrocephalus -- Hydrocephalus Association
   The Hydrocephalus Association, based in San Francisco, CA, has grown over the past 20 years to become the largest and most influential patient-based organization in the world. This group promotes patient and family education, hydrocephalus research, and advocates actively in Congress and NIH for improved management for all forms of hydrocephalus. Dr. McAllister is a member of the Medical Advisory Board of the Hydrocephalus Association and ... will continue to be involved in patient advocacy and the promotion of hydrocephalus research at the national level.
10. Birth Defect -- Children
    Children born with an omphalocele often have other types of birth defects, such as improper closure of the spine (spina bifida). Although the underlying cause of an omphalocele is unknown, the authors suggest that the development of an omphalocele may share some common developmental pathways with other types of birth defects.
