Spinal disease can happen even in an embryo..

Our mother's lap is the safest place for us and so is her womb. But have we ever thought that spinal diseases can occur during pregnancy??? No, right. But its true,a birth defect known as "Spina Bifida" occur's at the end of the first month in pregnancy.
In this defect the two sides of an embryo fails to join together completely, leaving an open area. This condition is usually diagnosed before the baby is born and corrected right away.
The causes of this problem are not known.But few guesses are made like its related to family genes though it has not been proved yet.Still high fever , intake of valproic acid drug to control seizures during pregnancy may increase the risk of having a new born with "Spina Bifida"..
Therefore go for regular checkups during pregnancy to avoid such problem..
Till then take care..
