Not yet, but in the future

I had placenta deciduitis with my third pregnancy. It resulted in a baby born at 33 weeks. I was told it’s a VERY high risk for future pregnancies.

He’s 9 months old now. Our initial plan was to ttc at a year but we’ve been advised against it. However my midwife has given us tips on conceiving and reducing the risk.

Looking for some advice... has anyone ever conceived after that and had a normal pregnancy? Has anyone used a surrogate? Through an agency or family or friend?

Adoption is so expensive so that isn’t even an option as much as I’d love to. We’re signed up as foster parents but temporarily on a hold right now as I don’t want any foster children until he’s at least a year. As broody as I am though, I don’t think fostering a child and giving them back is reasonable right now.

Thanks for any input!
