Yes, people with PNH can become pregnant, but it's considered high-risk and requires careful medical management. The good news is that PNH is not inherited, so there's a very low chance of passing it to your baby. However, pregnancy with PNH does come with increased risks including:

- Higher chance of miscarriage
- 2 in 3 chance of premature birth
- Increased risk of hemolytic anemia
- Higher risk of blood clots
- Possible preeclampsia
- May need more frequent blood transfusions
