Pregnancy after an Anencephalic baby
krissy4 - 06:36am Apr 18, 2009 ESTI am contemplating trying to get pregnant after the loss of an Anencephalic baby in October last year.
I realise that there are precautions that you can take (ie; higher dose of Folic acid at least 3 months before conception) in order of preventing Anencephally- i also know that after having a baby with a neural tube defect the risk is higher of having another baby with a neural tube defect.
I am interested in hearing any stories of woman being able to conceive and deliver a healthy baby after losing a baby from a neural tube defect.

It is so sad that such a beautiful experience is clouded by fear - please try to be positive. i do hope that you are!!!! and i do hope that you have a successful outcome.
If it is any consolation- my son was Anencephalic but previous to him i had 3 beautiful normal perfectly healthy babies- so eventhough we were in the unlucky 1% with our previous pregnancies- we are able to produce normal healthy babies.
Try to think positive - take your folic acid, stay strong and keep good health and most of all DO NOT LOSE HOPE.

Hey I'm now taking the Folic Acid and I hope that it works and I know that i have less than a 3% chance of this happing again, and I'm ready to have another, but me and my Husband will start some time next year, but for now we are taking all precautions and being safe. and I hope that all goes well becasue I can go through this again, this is hard enough and to go through it a 2nd time, well i would have to be commited
