Mayo Clinic Information: Couples who've had one child with a neural tube defect have a slightly higher chance of having another baby with the same defect. That risk increases if two previous children have been affected by the condition![External Web Site Icon External Web Site Icon](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tDi6j3k1p9CW3fwK58dJOPh4DhoUIQdEpD6QLKRpbGfeyOoCdYuNJ4Q3hIkmLykwG84cPR6CyxqinRxLL1zVRDPslVF8hxbk6iIx_2XaNoKxQ_Hl9wC8zI=s0-d)
