Depends: Most CP originates from an unexplained injury to the brain's motor centers at some time during pregnancy. This could have been a period of low oxygen or a mini stroke, none of which can be passed to your offspring.There are a fer genetic condition that predispose someone to excess clotting or have other CP related features. A review with your doc or a geneticist could be more specific to your case.
