Risk assessment: I am so sorry for your loss. Im glad to see you are taking the folate (folic acid) supplements. As you know anencephaly is multifactorial, with folate (folic acid) deficiency as well as genetic factors. There is an emerging genetics we are learning about and you certainly want to consider consultation with genetics and see your OB for a visit as well. Best of luck and remember anencephaly is rare.
