This is our baby, Dharma Lucille. She has anencephaly, and we may not get a chance to meet her in person so we decided to get a 4D ultra-sound done.

Edit: We did get to meet her. She was actually full of personality and really did not like being cleaned. She passed away after 21 hours, but she'll never leave our hearts.

  • This is a result of the neural tube failing to close as the fetus develops. Folic acid is absolutely essential to prevent this common and always fatal birth defect.

  • Folic acid has certainly been shown to help in the prevention of this condition, but it can still happen. Current research, that we're a part of, is trying to pin the condition on genetic factors. Hopefully more will come out soon.

  • i lost a baby to anencephaly in 2008 an i took my prenatal vitamins even before i found out i was pregnant.the doctor said its something that happenes.to the best of us.

  • Your little baby girl was so very beautiful. I just finished reading "Summer" by Karen Kingsbury-- and one of the main characters in the book had a baby with anencephaly. I cried and cried and cried while reading the end of the book. I'm so glad you got to meet your little girl.

  • This was a wonderful experience to share with you guys! Thanks for posting it for everyone! Dharma is one of a kind and there will never be anyone like her:>
