About Me: Female, 31, Ketchikan, AK, member since Jul 2009
29 year old female, with dilated cardiomyopathy. Single, no kids. I've been watching kids since I could remember always wanting to do nursery during church, since then I've always been a babysitter and a live in nanny for 3 different families. I've always loved children
...
[More] and they seem to be attracted to me in the same way. I want to have a baby through a donor. I am waiting for thoughts from my cardiologist whom lives in another City, as where I live in Alaska on a small island there is not one cardiologist I've been on heart meds for 7 years, back then my heart was working at only 10%. Now my heart is practically normal due to medication I'd have to stop my meds while pregnant, I had assumed I could be switched to heart meds that would be safe while pregnant, but was wrong. This is something I have my mind totally set on, and I know there as to be mothers out there that have had healthy babies....that are in my same situation. I just want to hear some stories and experiences and any advice will be gladly accepted. I want a child I was to love it unconditionaly, I want it to want me and need me I want to give it all my love and I feel like I'd be complete as woman, I would be thrilled to have a little baby I can love and teach all sorts of new things to. I beilieve every woman should have the opportunity to have a child. I am willing to take risks, and i know there will be risks, I would be considered extremely high risk. Please any information would help. I was the most excited than I've ever been when I finally made my mind up to go through with this and try and become pregnant, but after an appt with my regular Dr, I was crushed. I held it in, but then just started crying uncontrollably. Thank you for taking time to read about me.

First of all let's start at the very begining. For years and years I've always loved babies, kids in general. At church I'd always be the one volenteering to do nursery...
