Has anyone here with a chronic illness had a child?
So I've had Crohn's Disease for 10 years. I'm finally starting to gain control over my life again. I'm thinking about the future and I possibly want to have a baby. I'm scared though of what could happen. I don't want to be selfish and have a child and then they end up with what I have or something worse. I would hate myself if I put someone else through it or what if that child resents me in the future. All these thoughts are rushing in and I just don't know what the smart thing would be. I could adopt or have a surrogate, but for the past three years I've gotten excited about the possibility of experiencing the beauty of being pregnant and bringing life into the world.
