Racer I hate to interject a negative note. But I had my first child at age l9 and my last at 27. If she had been born first I wouldn't have any more kids. At the time it was a mistake and when she was born she cried 24hours a day, hired a nurse[insurance was good then] that wasn't enough. During the day I held her she projectile vomited each bottle. During the night my husband rocked her through the night. I had previously had bad anxiety this triggered the first major deprssion I'd ever had. She was hospitalized numerous times for first l8months for things like we needed sleep to popping hernias in the doctors office to not eating failure to thrive. It took me quite a few years after she was better to get a semblance of a life back. And now that they are all grown up the problems are all there. You are a mother for life. Whatever problems they have are yours and if you have anxiety depression it makes it hard for you to get better. Now I'm not saying there weren't good times but prepare yourself for anything. I know how bad you want a baby Racer really good luck. Hope it's not your p and that you are preganant as I felt the best of my life when I was pregnant. Fondly, Phillipa
