Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 My nephew was born with that defect (I can't think of the medical name for it right at this moment), and his mother is anti-vegetarian and a big meat eater. I had a vegan pregnancy and my son was normal. My brother and his wife were told it was a common defect and it is easily correctable by surgery. My nephew had the surgery as an infant and is fine. If it's a common defect and there are relatively few veg pregnancies, then I've got to conclude that a lot of meat eaters are also giving birth to sons with this defect. In any case, it is not a serious birth defect. > > Hi, my name is Megan. How are yall today.
