[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG.....give MIL a baby if you can. What are we talking about....1 or 2 years.
I know a few people who have been in this position...got pregnant and had a child before grandmother passed away.
What greater gift?  What greater joy for Grandma, your beautiful child and YOU.
You will NEVER regret it.
Go for it.
Wishing you all the best.[/quote]

I actually agree with this. If I was planning on becoming in a year or two anyways and found out my mother had terminal cancer, I'd get pregnant right away so my mother could become a grandmother before she died. If you don't you'll probably always regret that your mother never met your child.

Since you were planning to start trying soon anyway, I would think about it, and go for it if your wife wants to. I got pregnant just before my DH’s grandmother was diagnosed with advanced stage cancer, and all the talk about he baby was a great distraction for her that brought her a log of happiness. She ended up living more than the few months she was given by the doctors, and got to see our DC born and grow into a toddler. DC is much older now and still remembers his great grandmother.

I agree with these people. You were planning to start trying in a few months anyway, I don't see any harm in moving it up if your wife wants to. It may take a while to get pregnant anyway. Having my mom around for my pregnancies and to bond with my babies has been amazing. I know if I were in your shoes, I would be trying ASAP.[/quote]
