OP, thank you for bringing this to everyone’s attention. While yes, the OP failed to completely details the process in which doctors in the US can detect spina bifida, she was just bringing to light an important condition that, yes, folic acid is a key nutrient that when taken reduces the risk immensely. I took folic acid daily in the months before I was married. Since I gae birth last summer I have completely forgotten about it! Thanks for reminding me, and when I opened this threa a few days ago, I went out and bought a new bottle and have began taking them again. I do eat lots of leafy greens but, better safe than sorry!
