[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are people out there who really love being pregnant and don’t find it all physically painful or unpleasant. Generally they are between the ages of 20 and 30.[/quote] My close friend from college is like that. Her body, her choice.[/quote] But are 20-30 year olds in the best position to evaluate risk? Science says no. Every pregnancy comes with risk and just because past pregnancies have been fine doesn’t mean future pregnancies will be. I had life threatening complications develop the day before my due date with my first. I was 31, had no prior medical issues, got pregnant with a BMI of 18 and gained 35 pounds…it was a text book great pregnancy until my liver and kidneys started failing at 39 weeks 6 days. I’m 5 weeks away from giving birth to my third and it may happen again even though it didn’t happen with my second. It’s very high risk even if you are young and in great shape.[/quote]
