Would this be any different to a gastrochesis, where loops of bowel are hanging out of the abdominal cavity.  A clients baby was born this week with quite a lot of bowel protruding.  Other than the need for sterility, it was a normal birth.  MM

I have seen large and small spina bifida's birthed normally. It is important to keep the membrane intact to prevent infection. These babies are usually operated on very quickly.

An interesting question from Midwifery Today E News. I am 21 weeks pregnant with my third child, which has been diagnosed with spina bifida. This is quite a shock since my other two children were homebirths and the specialists said I would require a c-section. I understand the need to deliver in a hospital where the baby can receive immediate medical treatment soon after birth, but does anyone know if there is any evidence that c-section is better than vaginal birth when delivering a child with spina bifida?
