Hello ladies My name is Megan and I am hoping to join this board.

A little about me...

My husband and I have a baby girl. I have always two kids, however a few days I gave birth to my daughter in March I developed eclampsia and had two seizures. My blood pressure was out of control. It was not being controlled with medication at all. I was in the ICU for 4 nights total. My daughter, thankfully is very healthy and had no complications.

Long story short- my doctor advised me not to get pregnant again. There is a CHANCE that I could have a healthy pregnancy, but it is not a chance that my husband and I are willing to take. I cannot justify putting myself and our future child at risk like that.

I am hoping to adopt a second child.

I want to join this board because I am having an extremely hard time letting go of ever being pregnant again. My husband tries to understand, but he doesn't. I want to be able to vent and cry to other women who understand and wont tell me to "get over it" because I have one healthy child.

Sorry for writing the book!

I'm sorry that you had so much trouble with your pregnancy and delivery. Are you doing better now? Do you have plans to start the adoption process any time soon?

By the way, I'm Anna, and my problem turned out to be PCOS and adenomyosis. I had two children that were very much surprises and when we wanted to TTC our third (DH's first) it wasn't happening. This ended up leading to the PCOS diagnosis and Clomid. Our fourth was a postpartum surprise, they're really serious when they talk about a boost after having a baby. It was between the pregnancies that they decided I probably have adeno too though which is officially diagnosed with pathology following a hysterectomy so that one can wait to be official.

Feel free to talk about anything you need to here. I think you'll find a degree of understanding that you won't find a lot of other places and the women here are absolutely wonderful.
