Yes: Yes. But there may be other issues that impact your ability to carry a pregnancy to term, or other problems with delivery. I would consult with your ob/gyn. Good luck.

Spina bifida: Spina bifida is a very broad spectrum of disorders. In most cases it does not prevent conception but if you have it you should have a prenatal evaluation to determine the severity of it and whether you might need to medications such as folic acid before conceiving.
