Psoriasis

I am 8 weeks pregnant and me and my boyfriend have psoriasis. It is really bad for both of us. Would that mean that our baby is going to have it?

They are finding a genetic link with psoriasis but it's still hard to know! It's not contagious so your baby wouldn't get it that way. Check out these links. Hope they help!
