If you get your first cousin pregnant will the baby have problems?

Answer 1

It is very unlikely that anything will happen to the baby of first cousins, although the small chances of inheriting a genetic disease are slightly increased when the parents are first cousins. However, you may receive the disapproval of your family or ethnic community in some cases, and in some - but not all jurisdictions a marriage between first cousins is illegal.

Answer

Royalty often married first cousins and that is why hemophilia was so prevalent throughout the European monarchies. After several generations of such close breeding, the chances of genetic diseases increased.

Answer 2

Its a definite possibility that could happen either because:

1. You are not aware that the person you're pregnant for is your first cousin. OR
2. You are aware but choose to ignore that fact for whatever reason, and still proceed to have relations with your first cousin.

Cousin marriages, and the resulting families, have been common in many small or segregated ethnic groups and are not incest. That term describes sexual activity between siblings or between parent and child.

Answer 3

Probably not physically, unless you or your cousin are the result of incest. But the kid would have many emotional problems.

Answer 4

no effects
