Dear Jen, I am 39 y/o and have a just turned three year old. I had pd while pregnant and felt the disease accelerated somewhat but pregnancy is only 9 months and can be toughed out. The difficulty is in taking care of an energetic child while dealing with the limitations pd places on me. I am not the mother I'd like to be and yet this our second child adds dimensions to our family not there before.in a positive way. I do feel guilty about parenting with pd limitations and wonder about what is down the road but with a supportive spouse it can be done. In the US it was recommended to me to consult with Professor larry golbe 732-235-7729 or [log in to unmask] He is one of the few pregnancy and parkinson specialists around. He is affiliated with Robert Wood Johnson medical school in New Brunswick New Jersey. Also since there is a genetic component in my family I worry that I have passed the gene onto them. However I figure that by the time they are old enough to get pd, a cure will have been found. becky ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
