(7,360 posts)...wife has to avoid getting pregnant. It could kill her. And even if she survives, it's unlikely she makes it out of the first trimester without a miscarriage....sadly, early in our marriage, we saw that.
And even if she manages to carry to full term...well, you hit it..its very likely the child will have developmental issues.
We contacted the top UCLA Medical Doctor...long story short, wouldn't even see us. In other words, as our family doctor stated...and many other specialists for other medical issues...it's just way too damn risky.
Read about other doctors who would take on patients with her condition....after you signed an agreement not to hold them liable...but the process required daily Lovenox injections. That raises alarms right away. And of course, there are the "success stories", but, you don't hear about the failures. So we opted..no, we didn't, we acknowledged, children were not in our future.
