I swear, when I first started this thread I was like... why is this Whatsarahsaid trippin out? I honestly think this could have been a legitimate discussion topic. And then newbiie whoever got all crazy and psychotic and I'm like...what the smurf is going on?!

I just want to point out, my mom had endometriosis. They're pretty sure I have it, but I'm still alive and well, and guess what? We've both (obviously) reproduced. No Dr ever warned against it for either one of us so OP, SmUrf you and the high horse you rode in on. Go back to smurfing school and get the smurf off of this site. (That's in answer to "how do you delete this site" and you hope you get banned so you don't have to come back - newsflash: log out, don't come back, THAT simple).

OP you make me sick .. Some of the things you said in this thread are really smurfing disturbing , i honestly hope you are done with this site and don't come back.

We could only be so lucky!

Wow, ok there's a lot of things I don't care to share about myself here simply because I don't personally know anybody here that I know of but without getting to personal I have a mental disorder, it's not serious at all, I had no idea that I could pass this down to my children nor did I know it was closely linked to a much more serious mental disorder that I may have genetically passed down to my oldest son. I also passed the lovely asthma gene down to my daughter. Now with the asthma I would have taken the chance, with My son's situation no way and I didn't find out he even possibly had this other disorder until after I was pregnant with the child I'm carrying now. I do not plan to have anymore children because now I know the risk and the other disorder is pretty serious and don't want to chance it again. But it's up to the parents if they are even informed, smurf if I knew the chances I would of had all my reproductive organs ripped out of me but I didn't know. But if I had knew and still decided to take my chances well then hell that's my damn right

exactly! your body, your baby, your choice!

Holy smurfballs. If I had a disease that I knew I could pass onto my child, I would take the chance. And I have. Medicine has come so far. But! Guess what disease you can pass on that medicine can't fix? Stupidity, and OP you have plenty of it.

Whatsarahsaid: Go have your baby. There are so many risks and chances that we take in life, that nothing is ever 100%. Your happiness and your willingness to bring a child into this world to love, and share your experience and knowledge with, is what matters. That other "woman's" opinion, is just that. An opinion. I am sure by the time your daughter is born, there will be some advance in medicine that will make your disease more than manageable. If you have support from your family, and even if you don't, do what is best for YOU and not everyone else.

And OP, grow up. I hope you don't pass on your hatefullness towards others to your children. Your closed-mindedness and inability to be empathic and compassionate has really hurt a woman who was only seeking a friend. One day, when you come face to face with a situation like this regarding your offspring, think back to these conversations. I truly hope you don't tell them to shut up and go die.

Well Said!!!!!

Bahaha these threads make me giggle.
But I just wanted to add that my husband has Neurofibromatosis, which can vary greatly in severity. His sister has it as well and hers is very mild, but DH's is more serious.
There's about a 50% chance of passing this onto your offspring.
My husband and I have two kids together and neither of them have it.

I have MS and have one child and one on the way. Is there a POSSIBILITY I could pass it on? Yup. Would I change my decisions? NOPE.

Suck it OP, troll.

If everyone who had any form of diseases, or disorder that caused pain decided not to reproduce we would end the human race pretty quickly. Good luck pairing up 2 people with no mental health or physical health history problems. I love ignorance. I have my own opinion on a few diseases, I have a friend who found out her SO was HIV positive, I advised her to use contraceptive as she could get it herself, and if she did and got pregnant she could pass it on to her LO. But she and her SO have since had 2 children together. Do agree with them to take the risk, really I don't know, I don't think I would have chanced it but NOT MY DECISION TO MAKE I informed her of what I knew NICELY and left it up to her. I now have 3 beautiful healthy God Children out of her chances and she is still HIV NEGATIVE thank God, but it's up to them not me, all I can do is pray that everyone stays healthy

! Endo runs in my family and I have it as well. Along with other complications that are passed down. I've always worried that my daughter could have it and suffer like me and ny other family memebers but I know that it makes us stronger. Thank God I'm having a boy and I don't need to worry about it for now but like this person said if it was something like HIV I wouldn't.

Well, I did. And I will again.

I have asthma, hypothyroidism, diabetes, acid reflux, and bad seasonal allergies
SO has thrombocytopenia. My mom has high blood pressure.
But, for most things there are ways to prevent it.

If I would have been diagnosed with bipolar before I had kids, no I wouldn't have. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It's all hell. But, I love my kids dearly and i'm so thankful things worked out as they did. I almost went to the doctor when I was 13 for it, but I didn't. I know the meds are not safe during pregnancy, so maybe it was a blessing in disguise. I just really, really, really hope it's not passed onto my kiddos. It's hard enough for me to deal with myself.
