Pregnancy??

golly!! i didn't realised that it's been over a month since i last blog... hmm, and i said i would blog at least once every month :P sorry, things have been busy what with the wedding dinners in Ipoh & Penang... thank God it's over & done with =D friends come up & told me that i'm 'finally, really' married.. hehe.. all the customary events like 'serving tea' etc...

just thought i'll blog a short one today... Pregnancy... i've been thinking about this for awhile now.. even more after attending the MS Care event last week. there was this nurse from Brisbane who's based with the MS Clinic... she spoke briefly on pregnancy & said that typically, the doctors would stop the jabs for a period of 12 months... 3 months when you're trying to conceive and 9 months when you're carrying. you start on the jab immediately if you decide not to breast feed and the relapse rate is higher in the span of 3 months after delivering..

why, you may ask... a patient does not jab for a period of at least 1 year while going thru the process to get a baby. there isn't any 'layer of protection' created over your 'wires' to protect it, hence, a relapse could happen...

another patient voiced out and said that it's a risk but worth it. she now has a 2 year old son :) coincidentally, 'Momentum' magazine released a few articles in their latest issue on babies... some patients decide not to have kids and opt to adopt instead... i guess, this is for the couple to decide.

to have kids? how many? adopt? own kids? etc... these are a few questions that the couples would need to answer..

in my case, i've got no idea... on one hand, both of us want our own kids and i want 3 kids... 2 boys & 1 girl =D jokingly told my hubby that i want 3 kids and i want it to be 3 at 1 go!! :P and close 'shop' after that.. that way, i just go thru the whole process once :P hehe... he doesn't mind if we don't have kids, our own or adopt. he just doesn't want me to risk getting a relapse :) something to pray and seek God for :D
