A member asked:

I have cerebral palsy, and i have a hip prosthesis. will my hip be affected if i give birth some day?

Not necessarily: Your OB doctor will follow and help you through a future pregnancy. Have a meeting with your Ob/gyn before getting pregnant. Regular physical therapy and as tolerated exercise helps with flexibility of ligaments and muscles too.
