I don't know how busy this board is, but I really need to vent, so here it goes:
I really want another baby, but my husband says "never". Our son was 9 weeks early, and born via emerg c/s. He had stopped moving, and the heartrate would drop to about 30 everytime i moved. We found out that i have a unicornate uterus, and therefore only have half the room and blood/oxygen supply for pregnancy. Before our c/s, the obgyn thought that the baby was either severly handicapped, or had the cord around his neck, and would probably be severly handicapped. Thankfully, Logan is just fine, and was just squished....
The doctor also mentioned severe Downe Syndrome as a possible cause as to why Logan was reacting the way he did before he was born. We know now that wasn't an issue, and that the only certain issue with more kids is that they will be early. But since the handicapped and downes mentioning, my husband is completly against more kids. He doesn't seem to realize that just because the baby would be early, doesn't mean that they will have difficulties. And if they do, who cares? It wouldn't be because of my condition, it would just be nature... Anyway, I've talked to lots of dr's and they all say that the baby will be early, but that there is no way that my condition will cause any sort of defects in another baby.
How can I convince DH that we should try for another one? I really want Logan to have a sibling, but I can't change DH mind. Please Help!!!! Sorry its long, and probably confusing...Thanks,
