No its not I was told that I would not beable to have any kids due to cancer I got pregnant with my first son when i was 21 the doctors told me not to make any plans or get to attached because i probably would not carry i was in and out of the hospital with contractions that the doctor would stop i was on bed rest almost the entire pregnacy then with two months two go i went into labor my son was so tiny they didnt think he would make it but he was a fighter thats for sure hes 6 years old now and healthy thank god they said hed be my only one. I went through another case of cancer after i beat that i wasnt planning or expecting it i got pregnant with Hunter I also had problems carring him but we made it he was a month early and couldnt breath on his own he was life flighted to a major hospital in cleveland I discharged myself from the hospital and was up there in a minute nothing could have kept me away we was in th nicu for a while befor he could breath by himself but now he is doing so well hes 7 months now and if i could have more i would in a heart beat but im on my 3rd round with the cancer and this time they are doing a hysterectomy at 27 wow. Anyways I love being a mom and if you want it then go for it. There is nothing in the world better then being a mother

no, but i think its very brave. ive heard of alot of people having preemies the first time and never had a problem with their other kids. i want another baby so bad but im scared to death. when my daughter was in the nicu i met a woman who was on her third preemie! she said her other two were just fine so it didnt stop her.

Not AT ALL Stupid....
My first daughter was born at 32 weeks with a blockage in her bowels. I was in labour for a week, sent from Barrie RVH to London (3 hours away).She required surgery at two days old, stayed in the hospital for over a month. Keep in mind this is at a hospital 3 hours away from our home. We went from the hospital to a hotel (Best Western) and lived at the hotel until she was able to be transferred to the Barrie hospital almost a month after she was born. We sat there day after day, watching, waiting and often crying. Theres nothing worst that leaving a hospital night after night and not being able to take your baby with you, just that feeling of leaving a part of you behind...it felt so unfair. My heart goes out to all those families who had to experience that feeling. But with that said, I think those are the family who appreciate their children that much more and giving her a sister so she would never be lonely was that best gift we could every give her. So when she (Payton) turned 18 months old, her sister Teagan was born. Now they are 2 years and 7months, both very happy and healthy and becoming the best of friends. Plus...we're thinking about having another. It is a little stressful given what we went through with the first, the second I had gestional diabetes and had to go off work a month early but in the end it's all so worth it. They are such joy and knowing they will always have eachother truly gives me peace of mind.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

I am like 5,1' and 115lbs before i got prego...they never gave me a really solid answer of why there wasnt room..i know people smaller than me that have had 9lb babies and they were fine...but no i never had any kidney problems before of after having my son just during...

ALSO Good Luck Andrea !!!

It's certainly not stupid. Your next pregnancy will probably be easier because you know what to expect having the tube and everything. Just curious, you said you'd have to have the tube because there isn't enough room in your stomach. Do you have a kidney and/or bladder condition? I'm 5'3'', average between 98-102 lb and I didn't have any problems like that with my pregnancies.
Anyway, I have two boys, ages 4 and 3, who were both 11 days overdue. So when I had my daughter over 10 weeks early after having so many problems starting at only 8 weeks (placenta separating & little to no amniotic fluid) I knew she was my last. I think when you're done having children you'll know and it certainly doesn't sound like you're ready to be done. So good luck! :)

I dont think it is stupid at all! We had twins last year and I was ready for another one about 6 months in. I only made it to 29 weeks with them but I LOVED LOVED LOVED being pregnant and being a mom is the GREATEST thing ever. We did in vitro the first time and dont really want to go through all of that again but we are trying to go for it naturally!

No I don't... I think it is natural... after my daughter was born (30 weeks) we swore up and down we would never have another kid... when she was 11 months we said heck lets have another one LOL... now we still haven't gotten prego yet but still trying!!! I hope your next pregnancy is alot better now that you and your dr's knows what's going on!!!
