cousin marriage

I am going to marry my cousin.. That's my mother's brother's daughter.. She is his first daughter, and I m second to my mother.. Both our blood groups are B -ve.. And I don't ever heard any such cousin marriage history in my family.
Is it must I consult any genetical consultant? Is there any problem to my children's?And our family members are not with any serious mental or physical problems.. Pls help me..

This is really sick. The word is family. If u know her to be ur family that is nasty. All these women in this world and u go after ur cousin. Ur excuse is that ur in love. People don't just automatically start off in love so it's still sick. U should never have put urself I the position to have those feelings for ur first cousin. What was ur family doing while yall were obviously somewhere together. Ur nationality has nothing to do with it and is no excuse. I think it is really messed up that people like u sit here and do things that u know could be dangerous and expect our medicine to fix it. I don't know what County u are from but do they treat diseases as the US does. Don't take us for granted. And stop populating us like ur country must be. I bet yall all do this. But why. U knew she was ur cousin when u started dating. Instead of seeing a Dr about a baby u need to see a Dr about ur brain. Because yall have to be retarded. I can picture yall wedding.... everybody on one side of the church because yall all in the same family. SICK!!!

No your good qualities are not 'doubled' in your child, you need assortment and mixing of genes in order for your children to be healthy. There are many many serious and sometimes fatal inherited disorders caused by recessive genes, which means your child has to receive the same bad genes from both parents to get sick. Most of us have some of these genes but because we marry people who aren't related, our children are unlikely to get the same bad genes from both parents. If you are related to your partner, it is likely that some of the bad genes you have are the same as those your partner has, so your children may be affected by those conditions. If you have one child affected by a genetic disease and you are related, it is even more likely that any further children will be affected by the same condition. Also you may be much more likely to have miscarriages because of these same problems. Go see a geneticist and discuss these issues with a specialist, you need to consider your future children's health.

I work in a hospital that services a large Lebanese population that tend to marry first and second cousins. There are very high rates ofa abnormalities in their children, and some families and had children born with very rare and fatal syndromes over and over again. I know of one family that has had 4 babies die due to one such syndrome. You and your partner need to see a geneticist and discuss the issues, and have some blood tests at the very least.

Approximately 165 years ago, my maternal side had 2nd cousins marry in Europe. To this day, there is a recessive gene abnormality in EVERY female in the blood line's finger. Your marriage will haunt generations.
