I have always been a firm believer in that it is far easier and less costly to ‘prevent’ an illness before it occurs. Preventing a baby from having Spina Bifida is one of those diseases that can be prevented. Pregnant women should know that well in advance of conception they should be making sure their bodies can easily and adequately support the growth and health of a developing fetus.

Spina Bifida has three different variations:

The most severe form is Myelomeningocele. The spinal cord and its protective sheath (known as the meninges) protrude from an opening in the spine.
The next most severe form is Meningocele. Only the meninges protrude from the opening in the spine
The mildest form is Occulta. It is characterized by malformed vertebrae. Symptoms of this disease range from bowel and bladder dysfunctions to excess build up in the brain of cerebrospinal fluid. The easiest way to prevent SB is with folic acid supplementation (at least 400 mcg daily, found in Super B) by all women of child-bearing age.

In preparing for having a baby and providing him or her with nutrition ‘they’ need to be strong and healthy you as a want-to-be mom will also see signs of better health too. Sometimes we don’t realize how nutrient and mineral deficient we are until we give our bodies what they’ve been needing.
