Some CMTers have had very different experiences. Their health was

dramatically changed by their pregnancy, often permanently.

With CMT it's very risky to generalize.

Unfortunately, we can't know who may progress much faster due to the stress

of pregnancy, but some definitely do.

Of course, the children are loved regardless.

Did any of your children inherit Jane? Just curious. I was the last of

5 children, and the only one who inherited in my family.

So far only one of my girls has shown some possible symptoms. The oldest

(14) has weak ankles, starting to trip when she runs part of the time. She

is in volleyball--she fractured the side of her left hand just below the

little finger when she was in third grade and that spot gives her problems

part of the time. They usually wrap her wrist to help support it.

Lord-Willing things will not be serious.

Your comments on pregnancy was very interesting. My obyn doctor really

didn't know anything about CMT, basically very, very few in our area have

ever seen CMT in real life-only studied briefly when getting their degrees.

This was the first I knew that problems have arose during pregnancy. Thanks

for the input.
