Author	Topic:   Pregnant carrier of X-linked ichthyosis
vermont New member Posts: 2 From:Windsor, VT USA Registered: May 2001	posted May 28, 2001 03:04 PM             I am a carrier for x-linked ichthyosis and have two sons who have the disorder. I have had never really gone into labor with any of my children and ended up with c-sections for all three (I have one girl, too!). Anyone know anything about a connection between inability to go into labor and being a carrier for (or carrying a baby with) x-linked ichthyosis? My Dr. mentioned something about not producing enough estriol (sp?) which apparently helps you go into labor. IP: Logged

My male cousin and I have X linked, inherited from my grandfather on my mother`s side of the family. My aunt and mother had the same reactions in not going into labor.Both had to have C-sections after doctors waited for an extended period, not knowing the correlation of X linked and lack of labor.Thanks to better education that doctors can now be prepared in advance to know what to do in these circumstances. By for now Vermont. IP: Logged

My son has had it sense bith. I haven't taken him to a dermatolagist yet so we don't know what kind for sure. I just wanted to tell you about my delivery. I actraly went into labor 6 weeks early and then after trying to stop it I had him 2 days later. I had him totaly natural, no c-section. I just wanted to tell you this so you don't feel that c-section is the only option. Any thing can happen. Congratulation, good luck and lots of happy thoughts. IP: Logged
