Find a geneticist: There are many potential causes for hydrocephalus.If you can locate a geneticist with the university or children's hospital they can review what you know about the child you lost,review any records, and come up with a plan.Some of these are incidental and increasing folate in your diet may help, but some may be genetically linked and the risk higher.
