SuperMOMs Simple Survey

What else could challenge this pregnancy? (Continued from issue 6)

First, I had morning sickness which was stressful.

Second, there was all the talk of the world coming to an end due to Y2K.

Now I am bleeding vaginally, how much more stress could one pregnancy take?

When I was a little girl, my parents said I could be anything I wanted to be. They said I could do whatever I wanted to do with my life.

Being a mom was never on my priority list, especially after what happened to me when I was just 16 years old. When I was 16 years old, this athletic, smart, God-fearing girl suddenly lost the ability to walk.

I was not in an accident. I did not do drugs. I did not drink. Yet suddenly I lost all feeling below the waist and then lost the ability to move on my own.

The year was 1988. The option of surrogacy was all over the news, especially in New Jersey, USA, where I lived. There was a case in the court system about a surrogate mother not wanting to hold up to her side of the contract. She decided that she didn’t want to give up the baby that she was implanted with. But that’s not the part important in this story, the significant part is the woman who decided to use a surrogate instead of carrying the baby herself.

The mother-to-be chose to not carry the fetus herself. She was a doctor and she had MS. She was thinking she could have a baby through a surrogate and not be worried about her own health due to what pregnancy could do to her body. The case was known as The Baby M case if you want to know more about it. But for this short story the importance of it is that my own mother had been watching the news about it.

When the doctors told my own mother that I MIGHT have MS, all the fears that Baby M’s mom was probably going through went through my mother’s mind.

That was brought up to me when I told my mom that I was pregnant. Why are you taking a chance? Don’t you remember Baby M? You know you probably have MS too.

I knew I had something that the doctors wouldn’t confirm was MS every time I met with them over the years. So my husband and I decided to “try” and get pregnant. When the 2 lines showed up we were both in shock that it was possible. But now I am bleeding so maybe we weren’t meant to be parents.

When we went to see my OBGYN during that emergency visit all these thoughts were going through my mind.

I’m so glad we didn’t share our news yet with others.

Who are we to tempt fate?

Maybe we aren’t meant to be parents.

Maybe we should have just stuck with raising dogs.

But then the doctor came in and said, “Hey you 2 need to take it easy in the bedroom. There seems to be a little bleeding near the placenta, so I recommend using a calmer easier position when you are having intercourse.”

That’s it. I caused all this stress on myself for no reason. We need to take it easy in the bedroom and I can continue with my life as usual.

See all this worry about NOT getting pregnant because of MS was for nought, or was it?

Back to that in the next newsletter…
