Before i had DS, i was always asked if i just wasn't maternal as we had been a couple for years. After DS when i get asked the question about more kids from certain people i just reply that it took 8 years to have DS, too many hospital appointments and tests and drugs to recall, so many negative tests that it got unbearable to take any more. We would dearly love another but are realistic that it probably will never happen. So yes i am very maternal thanks but its not that easy for us to get pregnant!
Its a very emotive subject for me and an extremely loaded question, which when asked can and sometimes does have me in tears and feeling like a failure as a woman. Usually my MIL, who knows my medical situation who asks, almost as though she wants a reaction.
Fertility and wanting children is a very personal thing and i never ask anyone about these, you never know someones situation and it can cause hurt to be asked.
