Medically I already put my life on the line by having my daughter, I might have knocked off a few years on my kidneys, in the end it was worth it and I can't imagine not having her. She's only 3 months old, and I had a high risk/complicated pregnancy, I have severe kidney disease which will end up in kidney failure. My choices are dialysis/and kidney transplant, but finding a donor may not happen in time. I couldn't see myself going through with an abortion, at the time of finding out I was pregnant I could already see a heart beat on the monitor, I personally couldn't do it. I felt the first kicks/flutters at week 13 and 4 days in, never would have been able to do it even if the doctor said I wouldn't make it out of the pregnancy alive. I'm not pro anything, I think it takes a lot of strength to go through with it, emotionally draining and scary.
