Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I am almost 20 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child. We had 2 ultrasounds done (for a second opinion) and both are pointing to spina bifida (lemon shape and banana sign there). My doctor is saying I have 2 weeks to decide to terminate this pregnancy. Is there any chance I could have a normal baby or is terminating the pregnancy the best option?
[|AI|]  See madam, spina bifida is associated with the defect in the closure of the neural tube that is the end of the spine will not be closed as a result some few parts of TGE spinal cord and TGE spinal fluid will form a bulge at the end of the spine. Actually a depending upon the content and the place of the bulging on the spine the seniority is noted.  If it's a negligible swelling it can b surgically operated.  But in your case I think the swelling should b large, and it might be associated with some other organ deformities also.  So in this case the survival chance is low after birth.  So what your doctor has suggested should be right.  I suggest you to take a second opinion with another gynecologist with all of your reports.
