I had that taken care of over 21 years ago the morning after my 2nd and last son was born!! Even if I hadn't, at 42 years of age (or any age for that matter), pregnancy would NOT be my means of treatment for this wretched condition! I just thank goodness that my sons are grown and that I did get to be involved in most of their growing up years. I am not able to go or keep up now, so I would miss out on a childs life. That child would miss out on having a mother who could take care of him/her. Pregnancy as a means of treatment sounds risky to me.

the stress of having to deal with the babies afterwards causes another exacerbation or relapse. No thank you! I have three lovely children, the last 2 were twins and in the first year after birth I lost partial vision in my left eye. Often the first sign of this disease. I know that was stress related. They are now 17, 15 & 15 and the stress has not let up ;( I love them to bits, but no more thankyou!
