Any parents who're dyspraxic also have a dyspraxic child?

I suspect I am dysrpraxic.
I fit most of the symptoms and on chatting to both my doctor and the SENCO at my daughters Nursery they both agree that it's very likely. Over the last few months I've had a range of emotions about this, but I am finally beginning to accept that it's likely that I am undiagnosed dyspraxic. I still hate myself every time I trip over thin air or kick the bed when going to the loo in the night and wake my husband.
My daughter is only 2, but she's also beginning to shows signs of dyspraxia. She currently has a diagnosis of a Global Developmental Delay which means she's behind other children her age, the professionals feel around 4-5 months behind. She's met all of her physical milestones late, and although she does have a hip condition the consultants treating that have said it should not cause a physical delay. She has a pediatrician and he mentioned that her gross motor skills where slow. The first thing that came up when I typed that into google was dyspraxia. She's also badly speech delayed at the age of 2 years 1 month she has a grand total of 30-40 words. They are looking at other potential causes, and she may have other things alongside or instead of dyspraxia but this is where I feel her diagnosis is going.
Anyone on here a dyspraxic adult and have a dyspraxic child? And if yes how do you manage day to day?
Also does anyone know if dyspraxia is hereditary like autism/ASD and similar conditions are? Or is it just a fluke that we both potentially have it?
