Do you think I should get pregnant with a third baby?

Question

I have factor five leiden(which causes blood clotting) and I've been through two clots in my leg in my two pregnancies, one of them almost killed me and I was hospitalized for 17 days, if I get pregnant I should have a blood thinner injection everyday which hurts a lot, everybody says that two kids these days are enough and I'm very scared, what do you think?

Answer 1

I think you should consider what would happen over the nine months that you would be pregnant. You'll spend a lot of time at the doctor, getting shots, and spending most of your time worrying about complications.

Consider those same nine months without worrying about dying, but rather celebrating the lives of the two babies you have now.

On a less emotional note, are you financially prepared to deal with all of the medical bills associated with your potential pregnancy complications, and the added expense of a third child beyond that.

Finally, make sure your husband/boyfriend/partner answers this question completely and honestly. ...because along with your children, that person is going to be most directly impacted by your sickness, possible death, or additional child.

Answer 2

I seriously don't think that even asking that question was an option. If having another child could kill you, I would think that will tell you your answer. You have two other children and I am sure they want you around for a long time. Adoption is another option if you really want to have a 3rd child. There are a lot of childen out there that need to be loved and you would be saving one of them, so to speak. I don't think its a tough decision to make, personally, who doesn't want to live.

Answer 3

No baby, don't have a third baby. You said yourself that it could kill you! My dad's mom died after having another baby after her doctor told her another baby would deplete her heart but she'd live long without another child birth. Same exact thing happened with my daughter's grandmother. They left kids behind. You don't want to do that, right, honey? There are so many babies and kids who can be adopted if you really want another baby. Don't take the chance. I hope I have helped in your decision. Fear is God's way of turning you around from hellish mistakes.
God bless you and your family.

Answer 4

I don't think the risk of a 3rd child is worth it. I mean what if something bad happens to you because of it? then your children will not have their mothers. if You really want another child try adoption or, talk to your doctor and find out what the risks of being pregnant again.

Answer 5

If it was me I would not take the risk but it is you and if you feel that a baby is worth what you may have to go through then go ahead.

Answer 6

I think you have two beautiful children, why risk leaving them without a mom??? Better to stop now and enjoy your life with them.

Answer 7

well if you currently have 2 different baby daddies and there not in the childs life and rely on child support to live then no..
but if you are happy and in love with your partner and can financialy afford it. go for it live happy
