How+it+is+transmitted

Spina Bifida can be transmitted in several different ways.

If the mom has or had Spina Bifida the baby has a high cnace of also having it.The main way that it is transmitted is genetically. If there is a gene in mom or dad that contains a chance of Spina Bifida then the baby will have a high chance of getting it.

Even if the mom or dad do not have it in their genes the baby could still get it. The first way is if several different defected genes combine then there is a high chance of Spina Bifida. Another way that your baby could get Spina Bifida is if you have too much Folic Acid during pregnancy. This increases the risk a lot. Dont take too much but make sure you take enough so thast the baby dosent have other complications because you didnt take any at all.
