Wow, I didn't know about losing your baby. That must have been the most horrible thing to go through. Good luck with whatever you decide. Perhaps if you don't feel comfortable having another one naturally, have you considered adopting? You obviously have a lot of love to give another child.

I had the cancer scenerio as well, but after my three children were born...
It was discovered during my pregnancy, and after surgery I had to get fixed. I often wonder, being only 24-25 at the time, if I missed out on having other kids. Then I think about the children I am blessed with and my restless thoughts are quieted. Tough decision for you, I'm almost envious that you at least have the decision to make. Maybe you were given another opportunity for a reason...who knows?? Good Luck either way...

Wow...
That's a tough one, isn't it? You know, when I had my three year old I thought I was done having children. Then, number three came along and was a surprise and I felt a lot of strange things about the pregnancy but in the end I know it was meant to be. But, I decided (after a third very complicated pregnancy) that three was enough.
Now, over the past couple months I feel myself wanting another baby. Do I really want another though? Or is it just that I see my baby is walking, talking, and becoming independent and I feel the urge to have another to cling to me for every need? I can't imagine how it feels to have a 17 year old who is constantly pushing for independence.
Cervical cancer is a pain, isn't it? We were told to wait two years afterward and we didn't, and in the end it ended up saving the pregnancy. They said the stage of the scar tissue was the only thing that kept my cervix shut through week 35 when I finally had her.
The right decision will make itself clear. I can't imagine how difficult it was to lose a child but I urge you to think only of the positives if you decide to try for another. Don't waste any time putting that negative stuff out there.
Good luck!

Strickgold, you certainly don't have any easy decisions to make! At my age, I've ruled out having any more children. I just can't see myself getting out of bed at all hours for feeds and just mention changing diapers and thats it....lol Hope you come to the decision which leaves you with the least regrets!
