Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process! After so many yrs. ttc u never imagine that there may be bumps along the road. Of course all we want is that
so we tend not to leave room for the things that may go wrong. For myself, this journey, all though so well worth it has not been easy at all. I have attained a long list of medical issues that I did not have b4 all this. Thank God I can say that so far my lil girl seems fine, very active and all her test results are fine. I just started fetal monitoring twice a week to ensure that she remains fine. They will be inducing me 1 month earlier if all goes well. Worse case scenario it could be earlier.
I really wasn't prepared for all this and even though I would have appreciated the knowledge of all the things that did go wrong, I question the fact of, would i have mattered or would I hadnot proceeded with my procedure. The answer is, ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! My daughter is all worth this and more, as long as she is healthy I could deal with anything.
