Re: Ren Cop Out-Lisbeth

[Guest guest]

Dear Lisbeth,

The only point I really wanted to make is that I would be afraid to

have the DS, have severe protein deficiencies (like Joe Frost) and

NOT be able to go ahead and conceive. I already have two kids so for

me a 3rd is a bonus if I wanted another baby. If physically I was

unable to conceive now due to vitamin, protein or iron deficiencies,

I would not be devasted. I would be devasted though to be in that

position and also be childless. Hopefully, your health remains good

and you have lots of healthy babies.
