is caused by lack of folic acid in the body of the woman. If a woman's body
cuts short folic acid and she conceives, the lack of folic acid in her body
will result to this where a part of the skull or the whole skull will be
completely gone. These babies grow like normal pregnancies but once the baby is
born and detached from the mother the baby dies. Lots of us don't know if our
body cuts short folic acid until the person must have taken in and will
discover she is carrying an anencephalic baby maybe at 5months. So its
important that once a woman is ready to start trying out for a child or gets
married or is having unprotected sex that can lead to pregnancy, she should
start taking folic acid to prevent things like this''
