I am another with proof that you can have a healthy child. My first daughter Ceilidh was born still at 42 weeks due to the condition. My Dr prescribed 5mg of folic acid to take 3 months before ttc and to take the same amount for the first 3 months of pregnancy. I am now just over half way thruogh my 4th subsequent pregnancy and all have been perfectly healthy pregnancies. A second baby with the condition is very rare, although sadly it does happen, but if you take the higher dose of folic acid the chances of having another child with the same condition drops from 1/50 to 1/1000 (which is the same as any other woman).

Good luck to everyone
