Hi everyone!! Some of you may remember me, Michele, I had valve replacement a year ago on March 3rd.
You might remember that I had to choose between a tissue and mechanical valve. The only reason I was considering the tissue valve was so that I could do pregnancy. However, I ended up going with the mechanical valve because I found a woman who had had two pregnancies with her mechancial valve and I had finally found doctors who supported the idea of mech valve pregnancies.
However, after my surgery, I decided against having biological children. I'm too scared of the risks involved with my valve. But we are adopting from China! In the next couple of weeks, we will find out who our Child is! I can't wait!!! I am over the moon with excitement of the idea of knowing who my baby is! I'm going to be a parent soon!
I don't check in here as often as I'd like, but I do stop in occasionally. And of course, the first thing I search is for new people who are here because they are looking for information on Mechancial valve/tissue valve pregnancies. Old habits are hard to break!!!
I am starting a weblog written by young women with valve issues who want to go through a pregnancy, who have considered a pregnancy, who are trying to get pregant, who have had a pregnancy, who want to adopt, etc.
What I want is for as many women as possible to participate on this blog. The more writers, stories the better. Hopefully, we'll be able to find women who have gone through every possible scenario with mech valve/tissue valve/ pregnancy situation possible.
That way, we'll be there for eachother as well as women who will search for this info in the future. But we need writers, stories, etc. We need young women valvers!!
If you are interested, please let me know. I'm trying to email as many of you as possible, but it will probably take some time to work through the list....so please contact me if you're interested.
I hope this makes sense....I'm writing in a hurry.
