I have a son, he's five. He's the love of my life but needs a lot of attention. He was colicky when he was an infant and hardly ever slept so it was very difficult. But I had him before BP symptoms arose again...I thought I was cured, or more accurately, that I never had BP in the first place. If I knew it was going to come back for me I'm not sure I would have had him. He's been through so much in his short life with all my hospital stays and erratic behavior, and then his father dying. It's terrible. I hope every day that he never has to experience this thing called BP. But it seems he's got a slim chance of being unaffected. I wish I had thought it through before bringing him into the world. But I desperately wanted him at the time.

I will most likely never have another child. IF I were to meet another man (big IF) I wouldn't want to take the chance that pregnancy and infancy would destabilize me.
