How is spina bifida diagnosed?
Spina bifida, a birth defect, is usually diagnosed before the baby is born through blood testing for alpha-fetal protein, unusual levels of HCG, estrogen and another hormone called Inhibin A. If blood testing results in suspicious findings, ultrasounds will be performed to assist in diagnosis. For more information, look here: http://www.mychildwithoutlimits.org/?pag…
