Patient's question:
How can I tell if my girlfriend and I are close relatives getting married? My girlfriend and I are from the same village, and our families are not very far apart! If you trace our family line, my great-great-grandfather and her great-great-grandfather (might be) the same person. My girlfriend's mother has always believed that we are close relatives getting married and has been strongly against it, saying she's afraid the child might not be healthy. So, I'm wondering if there's any way to test whether we can have children and are healthy, so her mother can rest assured!Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is not consanguineous marriage, so please rest assured. Live a peaceful life and consider having an amniocentesis during the second trimester. Pay attention to a balanced diet, maintain a balance between work and rest, engage in outdoor activities frequently, and always keep a cheerful mood. Ensure sufficient deep sleep, which is beneficial for fetal growth and development.This is the advice for the question "How to determine if my girlfriend and I are consanguineous marriage." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
