Does Vitiligo Gets Passed On From Mother To Child?

hi
I have been having vitiligo on my lips, palm - inside and near nails, and my foot - heels and toes and near nails, for last 8 years now, and its not spread to any other areas.
I took medicines till 4 years back, including homeopathy, Ayurveda, UV light, and punch grafting surgery. nothing seemed to work , and it didn't spread so i stopped.
I've been married for last one year and I am trying to conceive, and I am worried about my baby getting vitiligo.
what are the chances and how can I prevent my baby from inheriting it or minimizing it at least.
None of my other family members ever had vitiligo or any such skin diseases, I am B- ve and my husband is 0+ve . please help .
