Hi Ruby, This is Chat Doctor.  But I would suggest you not to lose hope, trust in almighty and contact a genetic counselor, he can help you determine your risk for having a baby with MUD. A Genetic testing can tell you if you or your partner is a carrier of the disease and DNA testing can identify the disease in a fetus before birth, so there is no need to worry, keep hope and best of luck I hope it helps May God bless You
