Is any pregnancy advisable?
I never ceased to be amazed at how some women have this drive to carry
their own pregnancy - even if their body has shown that it has a hard
time keepin itself alive WITHOUT the wonderful parasite of a fetus
demanding resources also!
Wouldn't it be better for her to adopt?
I don't know - will be interestd in MFM answers!
