Best answer

Yes, you can have a baby, even if you have a Robertsonian Translocation. (I have a Robertsonian Translocation and I have a three-year-old daughter.) There is a lot of genetic information involved, however, so the best thing to do would be to contact a genetic counselor who could advise you and explain your chances. For instance, a baby that survives to birth may have completely normal chromosomes or may also have a Robersonian Translocation, but in either of those cases, the baby would be fine. The good news, though, is that you can have a baby!
