Hellobee Boards

Thanks for the support, ladies!

@artbee - I know how difficult migraines can be because my mom has chronic migraines every day of her life. I totally sympathize with you, and REALLY hope your surgery is a success. Please keep me updated; I'm very interested in hearing about your recovery and progress. And I totally know how hard it is to take care of little ones when you have an excruciating headache, because that is one of the symptoms of my pre-e.

I am doing a bit better now, but honestly I just don't have the time to think about it. I've been going to the doctor every other week now, and my liver enzymes are s-l-o-w-l-y going down towards normal levels, but at least I don't have the liver pain anymore. My BP is starting to stabilize, thankfully! I'm just hoping that this willball go away soon. We've been advised to wait at least three years before TTCing again, and that's what's best for our family planning too. But because this has happened with both pregnancies, and it's gotten steadily worse and we've been told that the next time could be even more so, my DH said he might not want to have more children, which absolutely totally breaks my heart. Even though I was the one physically going through everything, I would definitely do it again. Nine plus months of issues is totally worth a lifetime of increased joy for a third child, at least in my eyes.

@mrs.jacks - I've really enjoyed reading your posts about the adoption process, and its something that DH and I have always considered. You are definitely helping me to open my eyes again to adopting a child. Thank you so much for sharing what it is like, because, as you have stated, not a whole lot of people actually open up about it.

Because of my health, I know that this should definitely be considered as an option, but there is a part of me that still wants to go through being pregnant. I guess I still hold onto a thin hope that I will have a normal pregnancy, and get to go out and be the cute pregnant woman shopping for baby clothes, which I didn't really get to do previously (all my shopping was online!). I know it sounds selfish, but its still a dream of mine...
