My FI and I have a big decision coming up. When I was eighteen my doctors found a previously undiagnosed heart condition. I’ve been on medication ever since. At the initial diagnosis, my cardiologist mentioned in passing that I needed to have a consult with a high-risk ob/gyn before I started making plans to have a family to determine if I could successfully carry a pregnancy to term. I never really thought about it, as I wasn’t sexually active. Well it is getting pretty near that time. I mentioned to my FI that I wanted us to make an appointment to find out together. I honestly believe this is something he should know before we get married. We are so scared to make the appointment. I am terrified to find out what the answer is going to be! It wouldn’t be a “can’t” situation; it would be a “shouldn’t” situation. Think Shelby from Steel Magnolias only instead of diabetes, it is a can my heart handle the additional stress of supporting another life? We’re praying about making the appointment and the results. Thank you everyone! I know it is in God’s hands and that is really the best place we can be in.
