Hi
I've been a member of the forum for 2 years but have only posted a couple of times - forgot all about it until recently!
I have a 3 year old son - he is great, full of energy, humour and occasional tantrums like many 3 year olds.
My DH is wonderful, he's my best friend. We've known each other 25 years now and we married 7 years ago. After much discussion we've decided our family is complete. It is breaking both of our hearts, we'd always wanted two children. Have any of you parents with MS made similar decisions? How did you reach an acceptance of this?
I suppose I feel quite lucky, despite this sad decision. I had 3 miscarriages before I had my son and I am so glad to have had him. My MS has been around over 20 years too, but only dx'd 13 years - but I suspect it's starting to change and I can't imagine handling more children and worse mobility - because it's quite good at the moment. It has not always been as well-behaved as it is now.....
Just would be nice to hear from other MS'ers in a similar position.........
