[quote=Anonymous]Well, I have 5 autoimmune diagnoses and hurt every moment of every day in most parts of my body. My pain started in my late 20s and it didn’t stop me from having two kids. My pain issues are pretty horrible but I’m glad I have both kids. You don’t really even know if these two things are linked. Are you concerned it will get worse with a third kid? Or are you just worried that it will be too hard to carry a baby around? It is hard to tell why the pain and a decision about a baby are linked for you. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be linked — I just can’t tell what exactly you are worried about. In my case, I ended up with a kid with profound disabilities. The reality is that changing diapers, bathing, etc a teenager is incredibly difficult for me at age 50 given my pain. But being stuck with a child that needs total care for life is a pretty rare occurrence. And we are lucky enough to be able to outsource most of the physical labor. [/quote]
