Risky : Although every pregnancy has a 4% risk of having an unexpected surprise (premi, birth defect, infection) that changes in closely related individuals. We are each thought to carry as many as 4 recessive genes to a metabolic disorder that can be life threatening.If you have kids together, you double or triple your risks of having a defective baby.
