Neither of my parents have it, but my 2 aunts on my mom's side and a couple cousins on my dad's side do. I guess it skips around in my family. My fiance and I haven't decided if we'll have kids or not yet. I have more health issues than just BP, so there are a few risks if we do have kids... I'm more worried about passing on other problems than BP though. I don't view BP as a big enough problem to want to avoid having kids, but that could be because it's manageable for me.
