Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern and I will try to help you.
Larsen syndrome is a rare syndrome that have relation especially with Bones(bones dislocation)
Women with this syndrome have no problem getting or being pregnant but Keeping pregnancy for 9 months may be difficult.
Another problem for women with Larsen syndrome is that this syndrome can be transmitted in children and this vary, what type of defect do you have, is recesive or dominant.
As per your symptoms, it may be recesive.
Hence you are free to be pregnant and consult with an geneticist to calculate chances that you have to transmit Larsen syndrome in your future children.
Feel free to discuss any other questions.

What's the difference between recessive and dominant?
Do you know any geneticists to consult about this ?
there is a big difference
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear again.
A dominant allele (part of e chromosome) produces a dominant phenotype in individuals who have one copy of the allele, which can come from just one parent.
For recessive allele to produce e recessive phenotype the individual must have two copies, one from each parent.
Whether an allele is dominant or recessive depends on the particular of the process they code for.
I live in Albania so I don't know any geneticist in your country.
Hope I was helpful.

As you mentioned that it will be difficult to Keep the pregnancy for 9 months, do you mean i could have a premature labor? or miscarriage?
You haven't increase chances for miscarriage
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear again.
No, you haven't increase chances for miscarriages or premature labor.
But I have mentioned that pregnancy can deteriorate Larsen syndrome. As per studies chances of fetal anomalies are there.
In my experience I haven't had any pregnant women with Larsen syndrome.
Hence prior to any pregnancy advice with your follow up doctor to see if your syndrome can make you a mother.
All the best
