      Hi nickydubbzy150!

      There are so many reasons why women can’t conceive or give birth naturally. Thankfully, the doctors and nurses now are experienced in many different types of operations so you’ve got a heck of a lot more chance of survival now than you would have had, say, 200 years ago.

      If you have the operation, the doctor will talk you through it and explain the risks fully. You won’t have to have it if you don’t want it.

      There are other ways to have children if you can’t naturally – like using a surrogate or adopting so don’t let it worry you too much until the time comes. There are loads of options for you 🙂
