Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if it's possible to get a screening for spina bifida and ancephaly before 20 weeks? I'm worried not only because I didn't take folic acid early enough, but also because I have been on 20mg of Citalopram before and during this pregnancy and stupidly have googled and found there is a link :-( I feel like I've doomed my baby to have some kind of neural tube defect by being stupid. I would never have continued taking citalopram if I knew this was a risk, and doctors and midwives all said it was fine. I didn't know you needed to take folic acid before pregnancy. Have got my self in a right state and feel like bad news at 20 weeks is inevitable.
