Personal Post: Babies

Okay, so I'm not baby-hungry or anything of the sort, but Stephen and I, whenever we've talked about kids, have this wonderful idea of a lovely little boy we'd name Asher. Asher Gabriel Stannard.

I know it's not healthy to have expectations of your kids - especially before they're even conceived, but he is this curly top, Stephen-esque, awkward, sunny little boy. I don't care if he is smart, athletic, attractive, or anything else.

Anyway, I've been doing a bit of research into the matter lately. Originally, I wrote it all off as: it will be fine, just need to have some invitro so I don't pass PKD on. They said it was no problem (no problem meaning high-risk pregnancy, but usually successful) because the worst symptoms of PKD (high blood pressure and acute renal failure) don't happen until "the third or fourth decade of life" and since most women have had their kids by then, it has not been a big deal. However, I watched this video of a PKD doctor saying that it affects fertility. He didn't say how, but he said it! *see EDIT below*

We only want 2. 3 at most, but we want more than 1.. I want to finish school first and have a steady income so we can afford the invitro first, so that will probably take until age...well, I could do it at age 24 at the earliest. I don't want to work while I'm pumping out babies, so we'll most likely have to wait until Steve has a steady income which would be 24 for him, and 25 for me.

So, I looked into some support group forums (I didn't join haha) to find out what can actually go wrong. Apparently, pregnancy can raise your blood pressure, and that can cause kidney damage and worsen any aneurysms. Your kidneys and/or liver can enlarge after the pregnancies, progressing the disease! Wha? I'm sure I mentioned this before, but it can also increase your risk of losing the baby or dying.

I'm considering maybe not having a child anymore. We don't need one and we could always adopt fur babies. Maybe adopt actual babies if I felt the need. But perhaps I could be more useful as a foster mom or legal guardian of sorts. I don't know!  For the group page and more info, follow the link below.
