[QUOTE=RedPenguins;568132]Hi everyone,

So, I'm not getting any younger (and I feel really old even though rationally I am only 33)... I also have MS and my future seems so rocky and unsure lately.

I really want to have children and don't want to wait much longer. But - I feel REALLY selfish deciding to have children when I am "sick" and don't know what the future holds for me.


Hi Keri,

I was diagnosed when I was 32. At that time, the neuro. told my husband and I that, the MS was found in the very early stages. He also said that to have children would be fine. He also said that it's common to have a postpartum exacerbation.

The next year, I gave birth to my son And the doc. was right, a month after birth, the exacerbation occurred. That was in the form of major fatigue.

But today, my son is 8 years old and is doing fine

Basically, If you've a mind to have a baby, go ahead. Work with your family and doctors.

Cheers!

Niko
