Pregnancy worries

[Robyn92]

Hi I’m 27 recently married and looking to start a family. I’ve lived with PCD my whole life and not really let it affect me. I’m scared that with my reduced lung capacity and condition that I will harm the baby and whilst I’d love the baby unconditionally I’d hate to harm the baby as a result of me carry her/him. Has anyone had a pregnancy and gone on to have a healthy baby with no complications.

Thanks in advance.

Hi yes, I have twins who don't have PCD, having PCD hasn't stopped me being a happy ' normal' mum, try not to worry! Apparantly both parents have to be carriers for your child to have PCD.

Thank you so much for your comment and sharing your experience, it really does mean a lot. It’s nice to get the a perspective from people who experience PCD rather than a doctors statistic. Rx
