    I think if your scoli is "progressive" it will progress w/age, regardless if you choose to become pregnant or not. I could be wrong...it's happened once before...ha ha ha. But really though....that is what I understand. As far as passing it down...it's typically a female dominate trait but obviously the male gender gets it as well. It does run in my family...all women...my Grandmother had a slight case, as does my mother, but not nearly to the extent that I did. I have 2 boys...Tyler is 12 (and a half if you ask him) and Zackary is 4...I made sure at both of there most recent check-ups, that they were looked at, both have straight spines, thank god. Perhaps this is why God didnt give me a girl?! Im sure there are other reasons.......she'd be like me and Id be screwed....cant imgaine a mini-me out there-yikes!
