I want another baby!

[mom2lillian]

not trying to be a complete downer here but if you were married for 8 years previously even if it was startign at 18 then wouldnt that put the marriage dissolving at 26? If you are 27 then how would you have been in a committed relationship for a long time?

I am speaking from experience when I say it takes more than a year for a significant other to realize the full impact of what CF can bring and realize what affect it can have on the family dynamic--and none of us 'truly' know since it wont be most impacted until we are significantly sicker and experiencing it for ourselves.

Once my husband and I got that 'we really want a baby' itch we made ourselves wait about a year to make sure it was still a good idea, we are doing that with our second as well we wanted another not too soon afterward but we knew time would be best. I am not saying you arent a great person, or that you shouldnt have another, I am not saying your BF isnt prepared, I am just saying give it some time.

Being just shy of 29 myself (with a husband just shy 40) I understand the 'OMG I am getting too old' itch that most women dont experience for some time yet however I know having my circumstances ironclad will be worth waiting a year or so--we have waited more than that but a year seems reasonable. In my mind if a year makes difference betweene circumstances being right or not then they probably werent actually right in the first place.

This is not in any way an attack on you, that is my 0.02 and I am done.

I sure wish it was a cut/dry answer for us, but sadly it isnt. Eveyone's body & circumstances are different.

I just want to point something out that struck ME (not saying this is what you meant tho). Although I am totally glad to hear your BF is fully prepared to help (given it will be his child <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">).... is he prepared to care for you AND the baby if things go haywire sooner then expected? This is the part that I cant emphasize enough.....its something that you dont understand the toll of until you are in the admist of it.

I would encourage you to learn as much as you can about non-drug alternatives. It may be possible to get off some of the drugs -- I have. If you haven't seen it yet, you can get a few ideas from my website where I talk about what has worked for me and my son wcf: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://healthgazelle.org/">http://healthgazelle.org/</a>

I know a little about the non-drug alternatives and have been exercising them for years. I am still learning about the other things that I can take that are more natural to the human body. And any medications that can be substituted safely will be! Only the ones that I really have to have like the pancreatic enzymes will be the ones I have to keep taking. Otherwise I have started to change my medication routine to accommadate for this time. I am one to watch out for processed food.

I am very careful about that. I do appreciate the concerns and thoughts that have been brought up. It helps me understand more. I dont feel like I was being attacked in anyway on one of the posted comments. I know that things take time. And yes it has been a little over a year since things fell apart. My current bf and I have only been dating for a few months. But everything is just thoughts at this time. Thats why Im tryin to keep researching everything I can. Like I did with my first pregnancy. I constantly was reading a book, or going to my doctor, or asking other mothers who have had more experience than me questions about everything that I could think of. I take what I can learn from, and leave the rest that doesnt apply to my situation.
Thanks for all suggestions and advice.
