Becky's 2 year old son cannot walk because he was born with Spina Bifida. What should she do to help reduce the chance that her next baby will have this disorder

Respuesta :

Becky should consume enough Folic acid and Zinc supplements  to help reduce the chance that her next baby will have Spina Bifida.

  • Spina bifida is a disorder of the spine that is typically visible from birth. Such a defect affects the neural tube (NTD).
  • If the neural tube does not fully shut, spina bifida may develop anywhere along the spine.
  • The backbone that protects the spinal cord does not properly form and close when the neural tube does not completely seal.
  • The spinal cord and nerves are frequently harmed as a result of this. It is essential to have adequate folic acid in your body by the first few weeks of pregnancy to stop spina bifida.
  • Due to the fact that many women don't find out they're pregnant until this point, physicians advise all women of reproductive age to take a 400 microgram (mcg) folic acid supplement everyday.
