I have no personal experience but have researched this as well.

From a pregnancy standpoint...many people with RSD actually experience REMISSION in pregnancy. It typically comes back after the baby is born but many actually experience less pain while pregnant.

It's the AFTER part that terrifies me. Flares can be caused by the tiniest things and little ones are so unpredictable. I have zero doubt in my mind that caring for a child would cause me a significant increase in my pain levels. I would worry about my physical ability to care for a child. I know when you are a parent you can do anything when it comes to doing what you need to do to care for your baby...but I just worry about not physically being able to do it.

Hopefully someone else chimes in with more personal experience as mine is just based on research and my own fears on the subject...
