How likely is it for a woman who has spina bifida to have a healthy pregnancy?

Question

I am a woman with spina bifida, and I am pregnant. I am wondering what the chances are of me having a healthy baby.

Answer 1

an increased risk of urinary tract infection
a risk of pressure sores
an increased rate of lower pelvic pain.

The current recommendation is that pregnant women with spina bifida be encouraged to deliver vaginally as women who have vaginal deliveries have fewer complications, faster recovery times and shorter hospital stays.

Women delivered by caesarean section have a higher rate of complications, and surgery is often complicated if there has been past urological surgery for spina bifida. The presence of pelvic scarring often makes identification of ureters and other structures difficult

whether there is an increased risk of birth defects is unknown. another words from what i understand of that comment, it has not be proven in any birth defects of babies with mothers of spina bifida

Answer 2

Get checked by the doctor cause i think they can tell you while the baby is in you. so asked them questions on that.

Answer 3

i agree ask you doctor. they know better than we would good luck though
