Wow, this is amazing! Congratulations! I am new to this site and I searched for posts related to scleroderma and found your post from a year ago where you were worrying about your diagnosis and what it would mean for the future, and also talking about wishing to have a baby. This all resonates strongly for me because I’ve been sick for the last year with UCTD that looks like it is turning into diffuse scleroderma. I have 3 small children (my youngest just turned 1) and I worry constantly that I won’t be around to see them grow up. I always thought we’d have one more child too, but my illness has put that on hold (perhaps permanently, perhaps not, depending how treatment goes). It seems selfish to wish for another child when I have 3 lovely, healthy children right here, but I just always pictured our family with 4. Right now it is certainly not a priority though — saving my life is.
Anyway, I read your initial post and then decided to see if you’d posted any updates and was THRILLED to see that you were doing well. Congratulations on the birth of your babies! Your story gives me hope. I wish you all the best.
