Geneticist Questions Spina Bifida

Can you test for spina bifida when pregnant?

A member of my family was diagnosed with spina bifida on my maternal side. Not my immediate family though. I'd like to see if it's possible, however, if my baby has it before she's born. Is this disorder possible to screen for while pregnant?

Yes, with fetal ultrasounds and maternal blood tests.
Yes. Your OB can see that on fetal ultrasound
