Deb, I'm very sorry for your losses. Please don't think that your baby having anencephaly is a result of anything you did or didn't do. Folic acid does help to reduce the incidence of neural tube defects and it is true that the number of babies with those defects has dropped considerably since that discovery became known, but cases still occur and there appears to be more than one factor involved for those particular people.

It must be a devastating diagnosis to receive. I hope that the tests give you something to go on and that you feel able to try again for another child when you are ready. Once again, I'm so sorry.
