The choice to have children should be up to her and her partner and no one else. I hope no one is trying to tell her not to have children. There is no. proof that ms is hereditary only that your chances are higher if you have a family member who has ms. I myself am the only person in my family wiht MS. UP till December no one in my husbands family had MS. his brother was just diagnosed. Then there is my sister in laws family wife ...she has 3 uncles who are all brothers of 7 siblings who have MS. None of their children have MS. Then there are families who have a parent with ms and a child with MS. Just an unlucky draw of the gene pool.
