Can someone with Cerebral Palsy lead a normal life and have perfectly normal babies???

Answer 1

Absolutely! They have a normal life span and can have unaffected children. It is NOT passed down from the parents.

Our Pediatric Neurologist said our son will have children without CP, (provided the doctor doesn't let the babies asphyxiate during delivery, like he was). Both parents can have CP and have children without it.

It is not a disease, it is a condition caused by lack of oxygen to the brain. This occurs either before, during, or after birth and can also be caused by a traumatic brain injury (shaken baby, severe fall, etc.) to a young child. It isn't always caused during birth, although the majority of cases are due to asphyxia during the birthing process.

Answer 2

A 'normal' life would depend on the degree of severity, but it is caused a brain injury before or during birth. Injuries are not genetic so you can have normal children.

Answer 3

Of course they can. A nero dr. in our area has Cerebral palsy. And has children.

Yes, because the CP genes are recessive, but if the spouse carries the genes as well, there will be 50:50 chance of CP babies.
