The husband and I have been talking for the last year about starting a family, we hadn't planned on really starting for a few years, wanted to be a bit more financially solid first. Then comes my M.S. dx. which just feels like it makes this a much more heavy decision for so many reasons.
I mean I know that with anything in life, disease or no disease there are many many what if's, but now I have extra what if's... what if I am not able to work, then we have to raise a child on his (much smaller than mine) salary and disability? Now I don't anticipate this being an issue anytime so.. but as we all know...who knows?!
Also being tired effects me more than anything, too many late nights or nights of not enough sleep and I am virtually useless... Ummm...babies keep you up...a lot... so then what? And add to that what if I go into a flair soon after birth? From my understanding the likely hood of a flair increases after giving birth.
BUT I want children... or at least A child...And I am not getting any younger, I mean I am only 32 so I do have some time.
I dunno this part vent and part looking for advice/opinions, other experiences.... thank ladies
