During my pregnancy with Emylie I had a blood test done at 16 weeks that screened for a few different disorders. When the test came back abnormal the next step was to have an ultrasound done to see if the test was correct and if so for what disorder or if everything was okay.
The first of 2 ultrasounds was somewhat inconclusive. We had to wait 2 more weeks for the second ultrasound which showed the opening in Emylie's lower back and her diagnosis of Spina Bifida was given. At this time the radiologist told me to look up the MOMS study as not only a resource but also something we should consider. With more research we didn't feel like it was something we should participate in (for varying reasons), but I find it very interesting and amazing to think of the things that can be done.
