A member asked:
Does getting pregnant change your genetic code? can pregnancy alter your genes and make you more susceptible to disorders?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No genetic change: Getting pregnant does not alter or change your genetic code. Your genes will remain the same. There are a variety of changes that do take place with your hormones and other systems, which could potentially make you more prone to certain disorders. A common example is gestational diabetes.
