Re: NTDs and stillbirths?

[Guest guest]

I had 3 miscarriages (the first of which they tested and was due to spina bifida) and my daughter was 8 weeks premature (she has sensory integration disorder). I have said that just about everyone on my dads side of the family has spina bifida occulta, but I was told it wasn't a big deal. My son was full term but is fully autistic, and not from any dramatic change after being vaccinated. I've been complaining about his lack of communication since at least 9 months. He also has major sensory integration problems as part of his autism. And yes I have often wondered if nature was trying to tell my something with the miscarriages and premature birth.

My mother did have a stillbirth, but she almost full term and I believe that the baby was choked by the umbilical cord.

You know what strikes,me as weird? Here we have a group that is devoted to replacing MB12,and folate,made up mostly of mothers,and not once do I recall anybody ever mentioning that either they,or a close relative,has ever had a stillbirth,or given birth to a baby with neural tube defects,two of the more common problems in low B12,and folate.I know both my older sister,and my mother's sister,has had a stillbirth or two,with neural tube defects.My mother had gestational diabetes whie carrying my younger sister,something I have learned is linked to such a family history,not to mention autism.I may never learn why I didn't develop any muscles in my arms,and chest,and have such underdeveloped abdominal muscles,but I have recently read there is a whole spectrum of NTDs,not only spina bifida,and stillbirths, but there are NTDs the size of a pinpoint,that cause no symptoms.I have also learned the cells that develop into muscles in the

womb,are formed in the neural tube.So maybe there is a connection.
