Well it is possible but i think its more like being half of the brain in water... But in ur scan thy do let people kne tht theres a problem with baby's brain but people still choose to go with pregnancy... One of my family friends had a baby boy his brain was covered with water or some liquid... Noe he is yr n hlf foesnt move much doesnt revonize nyone n just moves his eyes arnd n only mke weird noises.. But doctors did tll thm..

I have heard true stories of this happening. That is my question too.. You would think they would catch it at the anatomy scan. also a baby that does not move would raise concern. It is sad to know that this happening to women of my area.   i am also questioning these women's prenatal care, and whether they may or may not be doing drugs.

Well that seems odd.. If the baby didnt have a brain would they not catch it before delivery? I mean, a human with no brain cant kick or move around so if you think about it, going full term with no fetal movements and doctors or mother not catching it? Doesnt seem right to me. Lol
