Hello,

I am so sorry for the heartache you are experiencing with your struggles and now pregnancy. I do not know if I can provide you any support, but just so you know I have tokophobia (fear of pregnancy/childbirth), however, I want so much to have a child with my beautiful husband and soulmate.

All I can say is that you have to do what makes you the happiest and healthiest. Although I do not suffer from infertility, I call it "mental infertility" and the heartache it causes it so sad. Every child is a gift and I feel they come into our lives for a reason. I wish you all the best and will be praying for you.

hello,

i hate to say it, but this is a decision that you and only you and your hubby can make. what i can do is support you whatever decision you make and if its the meds your worried about, then talk to your doc about it. babies seem to be very resilient and have been born to very sick people and are still healthy.

if you listen to your heart and really talk it out with hubby, then im sure you will make the right choice for you and your family. have faith that all will be ok

good luck! and congratulations on falling pregnant. its such an amazing thing that our bodys can do!
