Should We Get Pregnant?

Quote From: ebrown1

Reply to a message from another member.  I posted a message to vent my feelings on this topic. Everything that I have dicussed I have discussed it with my husband sometimes it is helpful to get a someone elses opinion from the outside. I know what a blessing my children are. I have 4 children one is in the PDD spectrum I also have one global mental delays global sensory delays and he also has a language disabilty and he is asymetrical on one side of his body I run in and out of the city to bring them to doctors appointments which is a hour away from my house. Then I have to juggle two other children and my husband is a chef and he is never home to help me I have Three IEPS to juggle for school to make sure my children are getting the services needed for them to suceed. I know more than anyone how much deciation it takes and what a blessing children are I have been very blessed with the four that I have and I love them to death.  I was just looking for someone else's opinion if it sounds crazy to go through proceedures when already have 4 to have the 5th.
Hello, I saw your first message on here and wanted to reply but couldnt find it again. I feel so much the same as you. I do have kids but I so understand that burning to have another child. It just fulfills me so much. No one who doesnt feel that way could ever understand it. I had my tubes tied, too, but had invitro later. Invitro turned out to be cheaper , it was about four to five thousand dollars. The medications are a big part of the expense, if you have prescription coverage it makes a huge difference. Now I have four year old twin girls, and I adore them so much! I do still have that burning, but now that I am older it is fading more. There is just nothing in this world like being pregnant and having a new baby. It is the only time in my life that I have ever been truly happy, and my kids are my whole life.  Without them, I truly would be at a loss as to what would fulfill me at all. I have not encountered anything else in my lifetime that takes tiny lil me and makes me truly matter. I worry that I'm somehow just a sick twisted person, but it just keeps coming back to the fact that I just adore my children.  Feel free to email me if you want.

Sorry I forgot this in my other reply, is  the one of your kids w/asymmetrical sides Klippel-trenaunay syndrome? Thats what my daughter is. Just wondered if we had that in common too. Did you have low amniotic fluid when you carried him? They are researching this at the mayo clinic in rochester, minnesota. We went there last summer with her. They have a website if you're interested. They are also doing genetic testing for it. You can email me if you want, I think you can click on my profile on here. I dont get on these boards very often, I dont know if you do. Maybe we'll connect later somehow. karen
