I've had three strokes. Yes, you heard me; they were real, live, paralyzed on one side of my body strokes. Then I got pregnant! My husband and I were overjoyed. We lost our daughter at five months gestation.<br /><br />It's been a hard road. Between my handwriting, which gets shrinks down to nothing, and my exhaustion, which is always there, I can't work. But I desperately want a baby.<br /><br />I'm having another one this May. Why? I want somebody to look at my life and know that it's not a waste. I want to watch them learn. I want to love them and squeeze them until they scream at me to stop.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03530950806313505401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26532463.post-15142799418966360402010-10-13T21:37:24.571-07:002010-10-13T21:37:24.571-07:00I also struggle with this...and at this point have...I also struggle with this...and at this point have NO desire for children. BUT I think the logic falls apart because there are too many areas of life that it could be applied to and then you would end up not experiencing the full joys life has (which for some people include children). For example, maybe I shouldn't marry my amazing bf because I would get too attached and he might die before we are old and wrinkly and it would hurt too much. Or maybe I should drop out of medical school because seeing children die in general would be too much pain to handle. At some point, risk is part of it. But.....then again.......children are a freaky commitment!<br /><br />-LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
