Which is the chance of having more then one child with a neural tube defect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NT defect: This depends on the cause of the defect, but overall, your risk for a second child with a neural defect increases after you have a child with a defect. Your OB will likely suggest taking a higher dose of folic acid when you are thinking of conceiving.
