i understand what you are saying. but having done this first hand. with full body rsd. i think that you are way off about the birth defects and all. and how "if" she made this decision that her child would suffer. and i need to say something to that fact. i had rsd before i had children and not one day have my children suffered because of my rsd. yes there may be times that i have to go lay in bed for an 1-2. but i still cook dinner , help with homework, get them ready for school , baths etc. it is possible to have the family that you want and be sick also.

and about pregnancy and meds. there are some meds that you can take while you are pregnant. it depends on the dr's that you have and the meds. i went off the meds except the remaron that i was on for sleep.
i had to have surgery while i was pregnant with my youngest. and was able to have pain meds. mepragan is mainly what you can take.

i think that jennell needs to talk to her spouse and see that they are both willing to make sacarifices because sick or not that is what raising children is about period. there is no being selfish with child.

i think that you had great points gymjunkie but i think that somethings you said IMO are not correct.
