Hi everyone, I'm a 37 year old mother of two. My son is 13 and my daughter is almost 12. I was dignossed with bipolar after I had my second child. After bipolar causing havice in my life, I was finally able to move on. I made a mess of my first marrage and for sometime now I have been well. Ive gotten my life together and remarried.
My husband also has 2 children but is unable to see them because of his nasty ex-wife. He has done nothing wrong but is sad that his daughters are not part of our life.
We would love to have a child of our oun. I would love to have a baby but my clock is ticking and I have conserns.
I am worried that if I get pregnent I will get unwell again because I don't want to take meds while im pregnent. My other consern is passing the illness on to the baby. Mental illness does run in my familly and there is a chance I could pass the illness on. I wouldn't wish this illness on anyone. Deffinatly not my child. I do beleave my son has it even though he has not yet been dignossed.

If anyone has any advise for me or has dealt with this desission themselves, I would love to here from you.

Thanks, Jacqui :-))

" UPDATE "

Hi everyone and thanks so much for all of your advise and input on my choice to have a baby.
I've made my dissision!
After much talk with my husband and disscussing all the pros and cons we dicided to give it a go. We figure with all we have been through and more to come, if it is ment to be it will be our blessing.
You see the thing is, when i was in my early 20's and had my two children in my first marrage i had a " TUBAL".
Well the surgen said i only have clamps on and all my tubs are long enough and in tact .
WELL ON OCT.27TH THE CLAMPS ARE COMING OFF. yay
Its called a " TUBAL REVERSAL OR TUBAL REANASTOMOSIS "
It is day surgery and i will be layed up for a week or so but i'll get through, its worth it.
I will try and get pregnant. If it is ment to be it will happen and if not i think i will be ok with that as well.
So wish me luck. I really feel im making the right choice but i'm a little nervise about the sergery.
