Double First Cousins

by worriedaboutchildren, Feb 20, 2008 04:55AM
I'm married to my double first cousin. We also have related marriages going up the family tree upto our great great grandparents.

I wish to know how much the risk of genetic deformities/disabilities is increased by. Also is there an increased risk of miscarriages?

Obviously before having children, this information is vital. Then I can decide whether separation is best or not?
Thankyou
