I'm a lurker on here and have posted occasionally and you've always been so great . Basically its as title says. I'm very broody (probably due to everyone around me having babies). I have twins (nearly 4 yo). My dd has migraines and although this isn't a major issue it does clock up the hospital appointments. But my ds has a large number of problems. He has congential hearing loss, duodenal ulcers, severe reflux, still classed with chronic failure to thrieve, multiple food intolerances, speech and language delay, not potty trained and now dr's think that there is a medical reason for this and he might never be. He also had gross motor skill development delay which required physio but that has been mainly sorted. He has an average of 2 appointments a week. He is reguarly hospitalised as well. We have no family close by to help.
So I have my hands full but then I can't get this broodyness to go away. DH is open to the suggestion. We also don't have an overall diagnosis for ds but all the drs feel that there is a genetic factor involved. We are worried that any subsequent child/ren could have similar problems to ds. Without a diagnosis we can't have antinatal tests though. Our other major stopping thing though is how we would cope with a baby and ds.
Are there others here that have had another after having a sn child? How have you managed to juggle it all and are you happy? Have you had the situation where you dont' have a diagnosis but they thought it was genetic and then had a baby?
