Brief Answer:
need further information

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand your concern.

In my opinion as your both blood groups are positive ie.,you being B+ve and he being O+ve there might be no problem.

The marriages in between the blood relations are called consanguinous marriages.

These marriages are divided into degrees like 1st degree, 2nd degree and 3rd depending on how close the relation is.

So to discuss further I need to know in what way he is blood relative to you.

Kindly provide me the information for further discussion.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Best regards...Dr.srilatha

Brief Answer:
90% chance for normal child

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,I got your information.

In my opinion there might be 90% chance to get a normal child as there are two consanguinous loops and he being a first cousin to you.


You need to go for premarital and preconceptional councelling.They will give a pedigree chart considering the recessive characters and tell the risk.

So depending on that you can plan.

Hope this satisfies your query.

Good luck...Dr.srilatha.

Brief Answer:
pre- marital counselling is done before marriage

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear

pre marital counselling is a kind of analysis done before marriage
This kind of analysis is done in people who are planning to go in relation ship with close relatives.(1st cousins)

the main aim of this analysis is to check any familial diseases in your family and they will take data for 3-4 generations back word.
with this data they will let you know the chance of this disease to appear in your next generation.

you can go before or after marriage
but you must go before planning for child.

So depending on that you can plan.

Hope this satisfies your query.

Good luck...Dr.srilatha.
