So , I saw my primary care doc today, and she was far from optimistic about me having a baby. She went on and on about health risks, and that I would be high risk, which I already know that...
I don't mind her medical opinion, but it was almost like she was trying to talk me out of it...
See, besides all my back issues, i have to have a c section and it's supposed to be with general anesthesia because my spine is cork screwed from scoliosis. So I can't get an epidural. To look at me, you can't tell - it's such a tight twisting it can only be seen on x ray, but it's caused me to have a lot of problems. I also have congenital narrowing of the spinal canal, which adds to the risk. Both doctor's are worried what sort of physical condition I'd be in once I'm big. But that's my decision. I live with pain everyday if my life, and.at least this would be for a purpose - at least when I'm stuck in bed cuz my back is locked up, it won't be so scary to my 6 yr old, who doesn't have xray/mri vision to see my damage....
It just sort of bummed me out.
