Can a woman with a learning disability have a normal baby?

I lived with one who had a normal baby.

Your mum proves the answer is no.

Yes, and the often do.

Learning disabilities can run in families and not be genetic. Poverty, ie. poor nutrition, poor water quality, poor education of parents can cause learning disabilities in children. So a family that lived in Flint, Michigan and had children born in the last few years will likely have learning disabilities - they won't be inherited, but from the water and their children are unlikely to inherit them. The circumstances of life for one generation does not always mimic the next, but when it does a specific learning disability might run in that family because of those circumstances.

So a women with a learning disability at the end of the day has only a slightly higher chance of having a child with a learning disability on account of genetic heredity.

It's possible. Genetics sometimes take one gene that influences something and then takes another. Usually one is dominant over another gene or trait, but sometimes they can combine, which is called co-dominance. The possibility of a woman with a learning disability that is inherited will give it to her baby is higher, than the father, especially if one or both of her parents have that problem. If the father doesn't have it, even in his family, then it's less likely.

It's possible especially if the father doesn't have a learning disability. 50/50. It can be genetic but isn't always. By that I mean that a person can have a learning disorder when no other ancestor was known to have one but IF a person has a learning disability it could be passed down. Not something I would want to hand down.

I'm bipolar and the disorder tends to run in families. I didn't know this when I was younger but am thankful that I never had any children to pass this disorder down to. Several aunts, uncles and cousins have the disorder as well as one of my sisters. One of my two nieces has it.

It's possible, but it's also possible that the baby might inherit the learning disability.

Yes

Absolutely. Disabilities are not necessarily hereditary.

Yes.
