Hi,I am Dr. Shivaprasad C (Endocrinologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
the father of my unborn child want me to have an abortion, we have been together for over 2yrs, he once told me that him and ex-wife have a child with mental issues but it was through his wife side that they have this problem, now he is telling me that the problem is him and I should abort what should I do
Thank you for following up. Children who have one parent with the disorder have about a 10%-25% chance of developing the disorder themselves; children with two parents with the disorder have a 10%-50% chance. If a non-identical twin sibling has the disorder, the chance that another sibling will have it is about 10%-25%. You have some risk,but you should decide. If you have first baby, then you should have this delivery, that you can born next baby. Kind regards. Dr.Svetlana Shrivastva
