Guest guest Posted August 5, 1999 Report Share Posted August 5, 1999 Beth, Good point. But we did find out early that we were having twins, and in my case the docs upped the vitamins (including folic acid) to compensate. Not to mention that I was eating very healthy prior to the pregnancy and was taking the prenatal vitamins religiously. I just think that there will never just be a pat answer to explain Chiari and that docs that make global broad statements like that one did, actually do a huge disservice to everyone. Cindi Zachary's Mom BETHBUCHOL@... Funny that you should mention twins. It reminded me when Alyssa had her surgery in March, I met another mom with a set of twins. One of the boys had spina bifada/ACM 2, the other did not. Her son's doctors explained this to her by saying that the folic acid intake during her pregnancy (prenatal vitamins and diet) was only sufficient for one baby. It evokes some questions??? And I think it's a good reminder to women planning to have children to be sure you take enough vitamins, and if you are carrying twins, take some more. Beth p.s. , I am not implying that this situation applies to you, just relating something I found interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 1999 Report Share Posted August 9, 1999 Hi All, Just thought that I would input on this subject. I am a fraternal twin and was also the first and weighed the least. My sis does not have acm at all. I do'nt know what this means as far as the acm but I'm sure that there has to be an explanation. Love Ya Kathi/Bakersfield, CA rwdykat@...
