say you'd be 34, you'd been ill and your doctor tells you that you have 60% chance of surviving the next 15 years, after those, your chances are the same as everyone elses. let's imagine you'd meet the nicest man and you'd like to have children with him, would you even though you may die?

the pregnancy would not be risky, it is just that I may not survive the next 15 years. My man says he has the same risk of dieing in a carcrash....what do you think?

Personally, no. If I have been ill, then I wouldn't want to take the risk. I don't think it would be right to bring a child into the world knowing that medically or physically, I may not even be able to care for it or live long enough to see the child grow up. And as far as having children with a nice man, then there are plenty of children who would love to have a good home and parents to love them. I would lean more towards adopting an older child than having a baby.

No, I wouldn't have a pregnancy under these circumstances. If this is the love of your life, don't you want to be with that person not dead? And what about the child? Do you want your child to grow up without a mother? What a drag for you husband to raise a child alone. There are children waiting for adoption who deserve the love of 2 wonderful parents.

This is a hard question to answer, only because I love my 2 little girls more than anything in this world and i want to be here for them until they are all grown up and have children of their own. I sometimes worry way to much and that is one of my worst! not been here for them. I don't want them growing up w/o mommy!! If I was told that I may not be here long for my kids and I should not have any i don't know what I would do. The experience of motherhood is awesome. Only you can make this decision. I hope things go well for you

Of course I would..I would definitely let the man know from the beginning.A womans life is not complete if she does not get married and have children.Children complete a woman entirely!!I would not want to die without experiencing motherhood...

Of course...whats the point of not doing it and being afraid? Atleast you'd get to know the joy of parenting for a little while. Children are a miracle...why waste that because you only have a 40% chance? Doctors arent perfect and can be wrong. Idk, i would....but thats me.

I myself opted not to, but then again I already had two teen boys. Find a good Dr. who specializes in high risk pregnancies, and get a second oppinion.

Yes, I would, In fact, if the nicest man and I were in agreement, we'd have several children.
