Spina Bifida
by beautifullychaotic, Dec 28, 2007 08:42AM
Ok this might be a dumb question...but I need to know this! My daughters "sperm donor" of a father says that he was diagnosed with spina bifida 4 yrs ago. He is 28 years old. Can you just "get" it..or is it something you have to be born with? I was under the understanding that it is something that you are born with. Can someone please help me clear this up? Thanks soo much! Happy Holidays!

Spina Bifida is a developmental birth defect. You are born with it. And if the parents have a child with spina bifida, there are higher chances of the next child to be born with spina bifida.
